  • What is the best hydration for making Neapolitan pizza at home? Here’s the answer! Commonly, Neapolitan pizzas have between 62% and 65% hydration. However, we want to go beyond what is conventional and test what happens with 80% and 100% hydration.
    We want you to be able to make it at home so we are going to do it in our home oven. This way, everyone will be able to get similar results!
    Will we get better crusts? Will a hydration this high work on a Neapolitan pizza? Let’s find out!
    These are the recipes from the video.

    I will tell you a hard truth about hydration of the dough. I find it very interesting that people don’ t notice and talk about that. More % hydration you make less taste the dough has! I really do like 70% for the texture but it does not taste as good! After many experiments I decided to make 63% dough, for it is tender and it has almost as strong taste as the authentic napoletan dough has (58 - 60%). When I go over 63% it is only good if you make pizza with some salty meat and a lot of toppings. You have to experiment with a basic margherita. I don’ t care what comments may attack this one, this is a fact! Bon appetit everyone..

      Texture and flavor also depends on the way you prepare the dough,not only the hydration matters.

    I made focaccio at 88% hydration with olive oil not mixed in the dough but all over the dough after mixing. I found that after baking it, it can turn into a nice pizza if you add toppings after baking the dough and then bake them in top for a short while again.

      True you can turn focaccia into a deep dish pizza but you can only add ingredients last 5-10minutes else it will burn. A lot easier than try to form a circle and sliding into oven.

    Great comparison. It is nice that you did this with the home oven and got such good results using the 00 flour at 550 degrees. The rule is that there are no rules. It just shows that you must experiment to find what is best for you. I usually use 70%, but you can bet I will try 80% next.

    My biga was perfect. (80% recipe) However, mixture with "refreshment" was too hydrated, even after 12 minutes of kneading. It was like Niagara Falls. Adding more flour in small amounts didn't correct it. Giving it the benefit of the doubt, tried dividing the mess into 4 pieces and it was still flattening out. Dropped into individual bowls and they were puddles. Attempting one to spread and prep to bake, went straight to the trash. Second, I floured to spread. Baked at 500°F 5 minutes and still raw. Topped with more cheese and oil and additional 6 minutes to bake. The toppings are great, the dough is still undercooked. Would this be an elevation issue? I'm 700' sea level. No humidity, it's a chilly day.

    Thanks for this. Though it’s difficult to assess the difference of taste only by the looks. One remark: could be, the original Neapolitan Pizza goes without adding oil to the dough. Will try the 100%

    70% is probably the best compromise, especially for domestic robots or manual dough processing.
    I've already gone up to 85% on several occasions, for great pizzas, but I didn't really enjoy working with the dough, the structure of which depends very much on the flour, which has to be able to absorb the water.
    You can't find good tipo 00 flour everywhere, so you often fall back on traditional flour with a low protein content.

      what is your hydration percentage for this kind of flour? 70%?
