My Last Margherita

[pizzanapoletana]

This is my last creation. With a wet dough, it is normal not to have a perfect circular shape..

PN,

Thanks for posting the photo so I can see what a real Neapolitan pizza looks like .

If you will permit, I have a few questions. Was the pizza baked in a wood-fired oven? Is there a direct relationship between the amount of starter you use and the amount of bubbling in the crust? And, using the natural starter in a typical amount (such as recited in your recipe), how long will a dough made with the Caputo 00 pizzeria flour survive at normal room temperature before overfermenting?

pizzanapoletana,

I now have a visual goal to shoot for. Thank you for the inspiration. The only other time I have seen a true Neapolitan Margherita has been in books. Your latest creation is at a minimum, their very equal.

In examining the photo as closely as possible, I'm guessing that the tomato sauce is comprised of crushed tomatoes with no sauce whatsoever?

Also, is the basil cooked at the same time the pizza is put into the oven or is it added after coming out of the oven?

What size is the pizza? 12" or less?

I look forward to your response.

what do you mean by wet dough?

For wet dough, I mean a very, but very idratated dough. The Panielli (dough ball) become all attached in the dough trays and you need to actually cut them with the scraper.

PF,

I'm in Hollywood, FL on business...Franchise Meeting. I've looked up Anthony's in the phone book, with no luck. Can you tell me where they are located?

Bad news: Anthony's is closed on Tuesdays. But it is located at 2203 South Federal Highway, Ft Lauderdale, FL.

I will go back Wednesday night for dinner. If you are still in town let's meet.
