This recipe comes from "A Napoli si mangia così" by Vittorio Gleijeses, a family cookbook treasured in our kitchen. I've tried it with different types of flour, and it always turns out great!

Steps

2 hours 30 minutes

1

From the total amount of water, set aside one cup and dissolve the yeast in it.
2

Add the cup of water with dissolved yeast to the flour and start mixing; gradually add the rest of the water while kneading.
3

Finally, add salt to taste (I used 1 tablespoon, about 16 grams). The dough is ready when it is smooth, firm, and comes away easily from the work surface (as the book says: "When the dough snaps"). If using a stand mixer, stop when the sides of the bowl are clean.
4

Place the dough in a large bowl (at least twice its size), cover, and let it rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until doubled in size. After rising, the dough is ready to be rolled out and topped.
