Fried pizzas A delight to try at least once in your life

Ciao amici appassionati di pizza! Oggi voglio parlarvi di una delle specialità più golose che potete trovare in una pizzeria: fried pizza. Se non l’avete ancora assaggiata, dovete assolutamente rimediare! La pizza fritta è una vera delizia che merita di essere provata almeno una volta nella vita. Ma prima di tuffarci nel delizioso mondo della pizza fritta, permettetemi di raccontarvi qualcosa sulla sua storia e sulla preparazione.

A little’ di storia

La pizza fritta ha origini antiche e nasce nel cuore di Napoli, la patria della pizza. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, quando le risorse scarseggiavano, i pizzaioli napoletani inventarono questo tipo di pizza per sfruttare al meglio gli ingredienti disponibili. La pizza veniva fritta nell’olio bollente invece di essere cotta nel forno, risultando in una specialità croccante fuori e morbida dentro. Questo metodo di cottura, oltre a essere pratico, dava alla pizza un sapore unico e irresistibile.

The preparation of the dough

La magia della pizza fritta inizia dalla preparazione degli impasti. È fondamentale utilizzare ingredienti di alta qualità e seguire una tecnica precisa per ottenere un impasto leggero e arioso. In una buona pizzeria, l’impasto viene preparato con farina di tipo 00, water, yeast, sale e un pizzico di zucchero per aiutare la lievitazione. L’impasto viene lavorato con cura, lasciato lievitare per diverse ore e poi suddiviso in palline che verranno stese in dischi sottili.

Il ripieno

Una delle caratteristiche più interessanti della pizza fritta è il ripieno. Potete trovare diverse varianti, ma i ripieni più comuni includono ricotta, provolone, salami, ciccioli e pepe. Alcuni preferiscono aggiungere anche pomodoro e basilico per un tocco di freschezza. Il ripieno viene avvolto nell’impasto, sigillato bene e poi fritto fino a doratura.

Cooking pizza

La cottura della pizza fritta è un’arte. L’olio deve essere alla giusta temperatura per garantire che la pizza cuocia uniformemente e non assorba troppo olio. Una volta immersa nell’olio bollente, la pizza si gonfia e diventa dorata e croccante. La temperatura dell’olio è cruciale: se è troppo bassa, la pizza assorbirà troppo olio e risulterà pesante; se è troppo alta, si brucerà all’esterno rimanendo cruda all’interno.

Pizze fritte e ristorazione

La pizza fritta è un must per chiunque visiti Napoli, ma è sempre più apprezzata anche in altre parti d’Italia e del mondo. Molte pizzerie e ristoranti stanno introducendo la pizza fritta nei loro menu per offrire ai clienti un’esperienza diversa e autentica. La sua popolarità sta crescendo grazie al suo gusto unico e alla sua capacità di adattarsi a diverse varianti di ripieni, soddisfacendo i palati più esigenti.

Pizza is much more than a simple dish; it is a culinary art that requires care and love in the selection of ingredients. The first step towards creating a delicious pizza is choosing a quality base.

Flour: The Heart of the Dough

Start with flour, the heart of the dough. Choose a flour suited to your favorite style of pizza. Flour 00 it's a classic choice for a thin, crispy pizza, while a wholemeal flour can give a rustic and nutritious flavor. If you want a light and fluffy texture, Manitoba flour could be your best ally.

The yeast: The Magic Ingredient

Now, let's talk about yeast, the magic ingredient that makes the dough rise. You can opt for fresh brewer's yeast or instant dry yeast, depending on your preference and time available. A slowly leavened dough develops flavor and texture, so take the time necessary for an amazing result.

The Symphony of Flavors: Choose with wisdom

The Wine-Pizza Pairings That Will Make You Travel

The Wine-Pizza Pairings That Will Make You Travel

Dear lovers of pizza and good wine, you are ready for a delicious journey through the world of perfect pairings? In our pizzeria, we believe that choosing the right wine can transform a meal into an unforgettable experience. Present Day, together we will explore the magical synergies between fine wines and our delicious pizzas prepared with care and passion.

Let's start from the base, Pizza. The preparation of dough is an art that we know well, and every pizza that comes out of our oven is the result of years of experience and dedication. From the classic margherita to the creative quattro formaggi, our pizzeria is the place where tradition blends with creativity.

Cooking pizza is a crucial moment, and here at our restaurant we attach great importance to every detail. The perfect crunch, the cheese melted evenly and the fresh ingredients that come together harmoniously are our signature. Here because, when it comes to pairing wine, we want to make sure every sip complements the craftsmanship we put into our pizza.

Let's start with the golden rule: light and crunchy pizzas, like the classic Margherita, they pair beautifully with a light, fresh white wine. A Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc are excellent choices to enhance the delicate flavors of mozzarella and tomato.

If you love them sturdier pizzas, like the Diavola with its spicy touch, we advise you to opt for a medium-bodied red wine. A Chianti or Merlot will perfectly complement the intense flavors of the spicy sausage and chili pepper.

Four Seasons pizza, with its variety of ingredients, requires a versatile wine. In this case, a Chardonnay or Rosé can be excellent choices, able to harmoniously accompany the variety of flavors present in each slice.

And what about the pizza with goat's cheese and rocket? For this slightly bitter and tasty delicacy, we recommend a fruity white wine such as a Verdejo or a Vermentino. The acidity of the wine will perfectly balance the goat cheese, creating a delicious combination.

Now, let's take a look at white pizzas, like the White Pizza with potatoes and rosemary. This requires a structured white wine, like a barrel-aged Chardonnay or a Viognier. The complexity of the wine goes well with the creaminess of the potatoes and the scent of rosemary.

And for adventurous palates who love to experiment with unusual combinations, what to say about a pizza with seafood? In this case, an aromatic white wine like a Riesling or Gewürztraminer adds a fruity, spicy note that complements the fresh seafood beautifully.

Now, We would like to invite you to discover these delicious wine and pizza combinations firsthand. Sign up for our pizza chef courses that we organize in our office Silvio Cicchi's pizza school. You will have the opportunity to learn the secrets of dough preparation, of perfect cooking and winning combinations. We are confident that you will have fun and, above all, that you will fall even more in love with the art of pizza and wine.

Thank you for joining us on this journey through flavors. Until the next steaming and delicious slice! Bon Appetite!

Ciao
