In the end, I will also give you some advice on where to learn how to make pizza like a real professional. Sign up for our pizza chef courses that we organize in our Silvio Cicchi pizza school to become a pizza master!

Flour: The Base of Everything

The choice of flour is crucial in the preparation of doughs. There are different types of flour, but what makes the difference is the soft wheat flour type “00”. This flour is particularly suitable for pizza thanks to its fineness and low ash content. A good type flour “00” it will guarantee you an elastic and easily workable dough, essential for uniform and crispy pizza cooking.

Water: Simple but essential

Water is an often underestimated ingredient, but fundamental in the preparation of doughs. The water must be pure and free of chlorine, which can negatively affect the yeast. The temperature of the water is equally important: it should be lukewarm to help the yeast work best. Generally, for a perfect dough, hydration is recommended between 55% and the 65%.

Yeast: The Magic of Fermentation

Yeast is what makes the dough rise, making it soft and light. You can choose from fresh brewer's yeast, dry brewer's yeast or sourdough. Each has its own peculiarities and unique flavour. Yeast, for example, requires more time and attention, but it gives the pizza an unmistakable flavor and superior digestibility.

Sale: The Final Touch

Don't forget the salt! Added at the end of the dough preparation, salt not only enhances the flavors but also helps strengthen the structure of the gluten, improving the consistency of the pizza. But be careful not to overdo it: the ideal quantity is approximately 2% of the weight of the flour.

Tomatoes: The Heart of Pizza

Tomato sauce is another element that can make a difference. The best tomatoes for pizza are San Marzano, cultivated on the slopes of Vesuvius. These tomatoes have a sweet flavor and low acidity, perfect for a rich and tasty sauce. Puree the tomatoes, add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a perfect sauce.

Mozzarella: The Queen of Cheeses

Mozzarella is the undisputed protagonist of Margherita pizza. For a perfect pizza, choose buffalo mozzarella from Campania DOP, which is creamier and tastier than cow mozzarella. If you prefer a less watery mozzarella, opt for mozzarella fior di latte. Remember to let the mozzarella drain before putting it on the pizza, to prevent it from releasing too much water during cooking.

Extra virgin olive oil: The Touch of Class

A drizzle of high quality extra virgin olive oil adds a unique and deep flavor to the pizza. Choose a fruity and slightly spicy oil to enhance all the other ingredients without overpowering the taste.

Basil and Other Seasonings

Don't forget the fresh basil, which adds an unmistakable aroma and a touch of color to your pizza. Add the basil leaves only after cooking to preserve their freshness. You can also enrich your pizza with other high quality ingredients such as porcini mushrooms, Parma ham, fresh rocket, and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Cooking: The Moment of Truth

Cooking pizza is the moment in which all the efforts made in choosing and preparing the ingredients come to life. The oven must be very hot, ideally between 300°C and 350°C, to ensure quick and uniform cooking. If you use a home oven, set the temperature to maximum and use a baking stone to simulate the conditions of a wood-fired oven.

Guide to Aromatic Herbs for a Perfect Pizza

Guide to Aromatic Herbs for a Perfect Pizza. Dear pizza lovers,

Have you ever thought about how aromatic herbs can transform a pizza from delicious to extraordinary? Yes, I know, the scent of melted cheese and tomato sauce is tempting, but adding the right herbs can take your favorite dish to a whole new level of flavor and freshness.

When it comes to choosing aromatic herbs for your homemade pizza or the one you order from a trusted pizzeria, It's important to consider a number of factors that can affect the overall flavor of your meal.

Let's start with the assumption that the basis of every great pizza is a good preparation of the dough. Choosing the right herbs can complete the culinary experience and add that special touch that makes every bite memorable.

Preparation of the dough and selection of aromatic herbs

When it comes to preparing the dough for your pizza, it is essential to consider how the aromatic herbs will integrate into the mix. One option is to add the herbs directly into the dough itself. Rosemary, thyme and oregano are great examples of herbs that can be mixed directly into the dough for consistent flavor in every bite.

Other herbs such as fresh basil are more suitable as a garnish. Once your pizza has been rolled out and topped, generously add fresh basil on top. This method allows the herbs to maintain their freshness and intensity of flavor during cooking.

Tips for Cooking Pizza

While cooking pizza, it is important to keep in mind that some herbs they can burn easily at high temperatures. To avoid this, it is advisable to add the more delicate herbs, like fresh parsley or mint, only in the last minutes of cooking.

In addition to, Experiment with different combinations of herbs to find your favorite mix. Eg, rosemary and minced garlic can create an aromatic and crunchy crust, while a sprinkle of fresh parsley just before serving can add a touch of freshness.

Experience in Pizzeria and Catering Advice

If you prefer to enjoy your pizza in a pizzeria, ask the pizza chef if they offer a variety of herbs to choose from. Many quality pizzerias offer a selection of fresh herbs to add to your pizza upon request.

For those involved in the restaurant industry, the creative use of aromatic herbs can be a great way to distinguish your pizzeria from the competition. Offering customization options with a wide range of herbs can attract customers looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.

The Secret of Freshness The Best Temperature to Store Flours and Yeast in the Magic of Pizza

The Secret of Freshness The Best Temperature to Store Flours and Yeast in the Magic of Pizza.

Dear friends of good food and pizza, today we explore a fundamental aspect to guarantee the quality of our doughs: the storage temperature of the flours and yeast. Get ready to discover the secret that makes our pizza always fresh and delicious!

Let's start with the preparation of the dough, the art that gives life to an extraordinary pizza. Flour is the main ingredient, and its freshness is fundamental. Storing flour in the right way is like guarding a treasure that will give life to light and fragrant dough.

To get the most out of flour, it is essential to keep it protected from humidity and temperature variations. A cool, dry place is ideal. We avoid dispensing the flour directly from the package at the time of preparation, thus allowing any moisture to penetrate. Use airtight containers to keep the flour protected and ready to create perfect dough.

An equally crucial aspect is the conservation of the yeast, the soul that gives life to the dough. The freshness of yeast is the key to an optimally leavened pizza. Store the yeast in the refrigerator, maintaining a constant temperature between 2°C and 8°C. Remember to seal the yeast well to avoid contamination and loss of effectiveness.

Speaking of temperatures, Let's get to the heart of the matter: what is the ideal temperature for storing flour and yeast in the pizzeria? For the flours, a cool temperature around 15°C is recommended. Make sure the storage location is well ventilated to avoid heat buildup.

The yeast, on the other hand, finds its best home in the refrigerator, but be careful not to freeze it. A temperature between 2°C and 8°C keeps the yeast in a state of restful sleep, ready to wake up and do its magical work during the preparation of the dough.

In addition to conservation, we also consider the temperature when preparing the dough. A temperature-controlled environment facilitates the leavening process, allowing the yeast to act uniformly. The magic of pizza starts right here, when fresh and correctly stored ingredients blend together to create soft and fragrant dough.

When it comes to cooking, Oven temperature is another crucial aspect. A perfect pizza requires cooking at high temperatures. Pizzeria ovens are designed to reach temperatures ranging between 300°C and 400°C. This ensures quick and even cooking, creating that thin, crispy crust we all love.

Speaking of pizza, we cannot forget the importance of maintaining consistency in temperatures. From the stove to the preparation of the dough, from storage to cooking, each phase requires attention to temperature to guarantee the final result that will satisfy the most demanding palates.

And now, a special invitation: sign up for our pizza chef courses, organized with passion in our Silvio Cicchi pizza school. Here you can not only learn the art of preparing dough but also discover all the secrets that make our pizza an authentic delight.
