By Luca Gaccione
Contemporary pizza with direct method with Napoletana Rossa flour and Lemady

Ingredients

  • Pre-dough: Biga
  • 1000 gr Napoletana Rossa 00 flour
  • 730 gr Water
  • 2,5 gr Dry brewer's yeast
  • 30 gr Salt
  • 10 gr Lemady

Introduction

Napoletana Rossa "00" flour works well with the contemporary style because it is a structured and strong flour, balanced to support the typical extensibility of the Neapolitan product. It has good water absorption and consequently good yield.

Method

1

Add all the flour, yeast, Lemady and 50% water to the kneading machine. After about 5 minutes add the salt and little by little the remaining water, switching to second speed.                                                                                   

Kneading time: about 18 to 20 minutes at a temperature of 25°C.

2

Leavening: in mass for 40 minutes.

3

Portioning: form dough balls weighing 290gr.

4

Let it rest in the refrigerator at +2°degrees for 24 hours.

5

Spread the dough after it has doubled its volume, strongly accentuating the crust.

Bake at 360°C.

Pizza chef’s advice

This recipe resulted in a pizza with a particularly developed and alveolated crust. It was possible to achieve this volume thanks to the high hydration and to the use of the new sourdough-based mixture, an ingredient that strongly favored the development of the crust.
