      If using instant yeast use less. I made this with 7g if instant yeast and it tripled in size instead of doubling, ended up being an American style deep pan pizza.

      Gennaro Contaldo cooked at the command of Antonio Carluccio the father of Italian food , I think Antonio Carluccio was like his mentor or something and they became great friends . Also , Gennaro was Jamie Olivers mentor at Antonio Carluccios restaurent , these people are 100% the best

    This pizza turned out awesome ! I finally succeeded. DONT ROLL THE DOUGH, STRETCH IT LIKE IN THE VIDEO, it makes all the difference.
    If you roll it it will be dry and crispy like chips, but we want soft dough. Amazing recipe, like it’s an Italian chef cake to my kitchen and made me 4 pizzas! Thanks you so much ! ❤️

      @Anon take off the tomatoe skin from many tomatoes, heat a little oil, add a clove of garlic, wait till it gets brown and release the flavor to the oil, out the peeling tomatoes , crash them. If tomatoes are sweet just add a little salt, if tomatoes are sour add a 1/2 tea spoon of sugar. In medium heat bring the tomatoes to boil, lower the heat to minimum and cook without the lid for at least 40 min. The consistency of ready sauce should be thick and not watery。add a little olive oil for richness Ans that’s your marinara

    i just made this pizza! i would recommend adding a little bit of sugar to enhance the flavor of the dough, and also adding a bit more water bc the flour was too much for my dough and made it dry at first. other than that, it was fantastic and to proof my dough for 2 hours, I put it in my oven at the top rack (oven was off) with a damp towel over it and put boiling water in a pan at the bottom rack of my oven, so the steam reached the top rack and allowed the dough to rise really really well. i cooked mine at 320 C tho bc i didnt want it to burn for 10 mins

Since there are only a few ingredients, you have to use the best. The second one I used dried basil and it was wonderful. The first time, I felt the fresh basil was a little too powerful.
