Neapolitan Pizza

Cooking Time: 30 minutes Difficulty: Medium Serves: 2

From its humble origins in Naples to its worldwide popularity, the classic Neapolitan Pizza has come a long way! The simple and authentic Italian flavours of the chewy base, fresh tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella cheese is every pizza lover's dream. A symbol of Italian culinary tradition, the art of the Neapolitan ‘Pizzaiuolo’ is even recognised as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Made with less Olive oil in the dough as compared to a Romano style pizza, if you want to enjoy a classic Italian Neapolitan-style pizza, try making one with our Arrabiata Sauce and Pizza Pasta Seasoning.

Ingredients:

250 gms refined flour + for dusting
1 tbsp olive oil + for greasing
2 tsps instant dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Lukewarm water
330 gms Sorrentina Arrabiata Sauce
200 gms fresh mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil leaves
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Sorrentina Pizza Pasta Seasoning

Directions:

In a small bowl, activate yeast, sugar and lukewarm water, set aside for 2 minutes. (once the yeast turns frothy, it is ready to be used)
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and activated yeast. Add about 3-4 tbsp of water and knead it into soft dough. Add oil and knead for about a minute again. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and let it sit in a warm place for 10-15 minutes or till the dough proves and increases in size.
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180°C.
Lightly knock back the dough and then divide the prepared dough into two equal portions. Shape it into a ball, dust refined flour on the worktop and gently stretch the dough with your hands till it's about three mm in thickness (it doesn't have to be a perfect circle).
Grease a baking tray with some oil and carefully place the pizza base on it. Dock the base with a fork and bake it in a preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Remove it from the oven and brush the base with olive oil.
Spread an even layer of Arrabiata Sauce on top, add torn mozzarella cheese and a few basil leaves. Drizzle olive oil, sprinkle Pizza Pasta Seasoning and bake at 220°C for 8-10 minutes.
Cut into slices and serve hot.
