This is what a pizza in Naples looks like<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks simple. Tomato, mozzarella, a few basil leaves. Nothing more. A global success made in Napoli. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What distinguishes the original Neapolitan pizza from what is often sold as \u201eItalian\u201c in this country is not a detail. It is a whole system of rules, craftsmanship and attitude to ingredients. The most important principles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's why the Italian flag is green-white-red<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. the dough: four ingredients, nothing else<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A real Pizza Napoletana consists of exactly four ingredients: Wheat flour, water, salt, yeast. No oil. No sugar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dough rests for a long time - often 24 hours or more. This makes it elastic, easily digestible and develops a fine flavour. It is moulded exclusively by hand. No rolling pin, no machine. The edges remain airy, while the dough remains thin and soft on the inside. The result: not a crispy biscuit base, but a flexible, almost silky centre that bends slightly when lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. the oven: 485 degrees and 90 seconds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Neapolitan pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven at around 450 to 485 degrees. The baking time is around 60 to 90 seconds. This extreme heat creates the typical leopard look on the crust - dark bubbles created by the direct flame. The edges are slightly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conventional electric ovens at 250 degrees, baking takes considerably longer. This completely changes the texture and moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. the ingredients: Reduced, but precise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, there are only two officially recognised variants:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
