When it comes to creating the perfect pizza, the crust is everything. With the Bull Countertop Pizza Oven, which mimics the performance of a traditional Neapolitan oven by cooking your pizza hot and fast, the key to achieving that light, airy, and crispy crust lies in using a dough with high hydration.
This recipe will guide you through creating a pizza dough that’s perfect for this style of cooking, allowing the steam generated by the high heat to work its magic.
- Hydration is Key: The high water content in this dough is essential for creating that perfect crust in a hot oven. It allows for steam to form during baking, puffing up the crust and giving it a delightful lightness.
- Cold Fermentation: Don’t skip the cold fermentation step! It’s what elevates a good pizza crust to a great one, imparting a depth of flavor that’s hard to achieve otherwise.
This simple yet effective dough recipe, combined with the power of the Bull Countertop Pizza Oven, will have you creating restaurant-quality pizzas at home. Enjoy the process and get ready to impress with the perfect pizza crust!
