Instructions
- Start by working the dough with the palm of your hand on a floured surface until it becomes smooth, elastic, and without lumps.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place (about 20°C) for an hour.
- After the dough has risen, divide it into four equal parts and shape them into disks with a diameter of about 22 cm, making sure to leave the edges slightly thicker.
- Gently press from the center towards the edges to eliminate air bubbles, keeping the outer edge higher.
- Evenly spread the topping prepared with peeled tomatoes, oregano, and minced garlic on the disks, avoiding covering the edges.
Notes
To add a special touch to your Neapolitan pizza, try adding a few fresh basil leaves on top of the topping before baking, and a handful of fresh buffalo mozzarella flakes in the last minutes for an even more authentic flavor.
