Napoli

Tomato, mozzarella, anchovies and oregano

'Napoli' — or, on some menus, 'Napoletana' — can mean a topping with anchovies; 'Neapolitan pizza' also describes a style of dough and baking. Names vary between regions and pizzerias. This recipe uses a version with tomato, mozzarella, anchovies and oregano, named for its topping, without presenting it as the one recipe from Naples.

Rico's note: Anchovies bring their own dose of salt. Taste one before you season the tomato: balancing tastes better than fixing it on the plate.

Ingredients

  • 275 g (9½ oz) dough from base B01, already risen
  • 5 g flour, for stretching the dough
  • 80 g (2¾ oz) peeled tomatoes, no added salt, with little juice
  • 80 g (2¾ oz) fior di latte mozzarella, well drained
  • 15 g (½ oz) anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained
  • 0.4 g dried oregano
  • 5 g extra-virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat your pizza baking surface for 45–60 minutes at 250–275 °C (480–525 °F). Keep it in the upper third of the oven, with clearance from the heating element, within the equipment's limits.
  2. Cut the mozzarella into strips and let them drain in the fridge while the oven preheats. Pat the surface dry and weigh out the 80 g. Set it with the other ingredients only when you're ready to assemble.
