Neapolitan style pizza dough for a medium 12 inch

Pizza à votre goût avec une pâte style Napolitaine

Neapolitan pizza dough is traditionally baked in a high-temperature wood-fired oven, but a home oven also works just fine. Remember that the quality of the ingredients is also important for a delicious pizza, so use good mozzarella, quality tomato sauce and fresh ingredients. Bon appetit!

This recipe is inspired by the original which takes much longer to prepare/wait (5 hours of autolysis and 20 hours of rest) and which must be prepared the day before, it is designed to be prepared in the morning and used the same evening. It is certain that the result will not be that of a Pizzaiolo from Naples... otherwise everyone would be ;), but it will be satisfying and delicious!

Yields1 Serving
 250 g t45 or t55 flour (all purpose flour can be used, the result will be more basic pizza dough)
 165 ml warm water
 5 g salt
 0.50 g dry yeast
Alternative to fresh yeast if available
 0.75 g fresh baker's yeast
Préparation avec autolyse
1

Autolysis is a technique used in baking where flour and water are mixed together and allowed to sit for a period of time before other ingredients, such as yeast or salt, are added. During this resting period, the enzymes naturally present in the flour are activated, allowing for better gluten development and improved dough texture.

Autolysis typically takes 20 minutes to a few hours, depending on the recipe and desired results. Some bakers also choose to include other ingredients, such as sourdough or honey, during the autolysis phase.

Overall, using autolysis leads to a more airy result as well as improved flavor and increased dough extensibility.

2

Mix without kneading the flour and water, leave to stand for 1 hour.

Pour l'autolyse, mélanger farine et eau et laisser reposer 1h.

3

Add the salt and the yeast, knead for 5 minutes in a food processor or 10 to 15 minutes by hand. Continue to step 7.
