Mushroom Neapolitan-Style Wood-Fired-Inspired Pizza For An Apartment Oven
You can make this delicious umami mozzarella pie in your home!
Ingredients
- bread flour (or 00 flour)
- salt
- water
- instant yeast
- toppings (mushroom, buffalo mozzarella cheese, and sauce).
- extra virgin olive oil
- semolina for bench flour
Instructions
- Mix ingredients and knead until a cohesive pizza dough ball can be formed. If with a bread dough hook, about 5 minutes and double time by hand.
- Add some olive oil to a container with a lid or can be covered.
- Place dough in container and let proof for at least 2 hours. Can be left overnight.
- Then add some bench flour (semolina flour is classic for Neapolitan pizza).
- Flatten into shape except for the airy crust you'll make. Try to not smush down the crust at all with your hands.
- When you're happy with your pizza shape, then place in oven and bake for about 20 minutes on 350°F oven. Then add toppings such as sauce, cheese and mushrooms.
- Then add to top shelf at least 8 inches away from the oven heat coming from the top of the oven. Bake on broil (caliente hot!) setting for 2-5 minutes until crust is slightly charred giving the wood-burned fire "effect." Watch the broiling effect the entire time, so you don't set off the apartment alarm and to be safe.
