Icon of Italian cuisine originating from Naples: a simple dough and classic ingredients (tomato, mozzarella and basil) for a tasty, melty and stretchy pizza.
Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water, then add the flour and begin to knead.
Add the salt and oil, then work until you get a smooth, elastic dough.
Cover and let rise for 6-8 hours (or until it doubles in size).
Divide the dough into two balls and stretch them by hand on a lightly floured surface.
Spread the tomato passata over each base, add a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt.
Bake at 250°C (conventional oven or on a baking stone) for about 7-8 minutes.
Add the fiordilatte cut into cubes and continue baking for another 4-5 minutes, until melted and stretchy.
Remove from the oven and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil.
Oven
Baking stone (optional)
Bowl
Work surface or board for stretching
For best results use a very hot oven and, if available, a baking stone. Replace dried basil with fresh basil just before serving. Rising times may vary depending on temperature and yeast strength.
