Authentic Pizza Recipes

Why Neapolitan pizza recipes?

When I first started making pizza, I didn’t understand the hype around Neapolitan pizza. I thought that surely there’s many ways to make great pizza. Why should there be rules about what you should do and how it should be?

But the more I experimented with pizza, the more I found myself going back to the Neapolitan style. It just worked.

I’ve come to realise now that the reason that the rules exist is because the style has been pretty much perfected. Of course, that’s not to say that you can’t experiment with different styles.

But if you follow the authentic recipes and techniques as much as possible, you are guaranteed to make great pizza every time. And this is why I love the Neapolitan style.

The dough is so simple, yet so delicious. The fresh toppings compliment each other so well. The shaping of the pizza creates a wonderfully soft yet crispy crust. And a Neapolitan pizza oven produces a wonderful texture and flavour to the pizza.

What’s more, the recipes are quite simple really. But like with anything, making great Neapolitan pizza just takes practice.
