- 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.
An Indian teaching about mild taste vs strong taste, the taste of dough is enhanced with water, save your spices for your @ss
would you also say that the higher the hydration, the worse off it is in the home oven?
@@cikna007 wrong, you don't need to make strong taste to your pizza, you need highest hydration to get the real taste of wheat, minimum salt, fresh ingredients, only an American can dream for a strong taste pie like double pepperoni
After 4 month experience with different hydration from 60-75% i am choosing 63% as the sweet spot too.
I have been baking pizza for years using the classic 64% hydration but there is something about the 80% hydration that tickled my interest. Thank you for the challenge, Ramon🏆
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.
Good gods, I want all of these! Every day, I mean. Thank you. I was wondering about how percentage of hydration effects the crust. I will try the 80%
70% hydration has always been the best for my Ooni pizza experience.
Awesome video man 😎
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.
He's using a convection oven, that might make a difference.
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%
I don't think the different hydration levels affect the taste but rather the texture and mouth feel.
Great vid , very informative. Thanks
Well done Video.
thx for the experiment...i think will try it next time,,,
I've used 75% hydration for pizza for many years.
On a separate subject, NOBODY really cuts pizza with scissors, surely?
How long do you keep the dough in the fridge?
75% !!
I just wanted to see the transferring 100% hydration pizza to the oven, but non of that happened
70-72%
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.
With ❤ from 🇫🇷
mostly here in Indo we have easier access to a (called : high protein flour) that is contained 13.5% protein
what is your hydration percentage for this kind of flour? 70%?
but here in germany there are thousands of italy shops with Caputo Tippo 00 flour, it has to be the same in france.
Olive oil in the dough? 🤯
70%
And teaspoon, tablespoon, cups? Can it be?😢
Did you leave the biga at room temp ?
It says 64f 17C but how would I get 17c in a room??
❤
58%. Period.
St. Louis thin with Provel Cheese baby......
💫❤💫
They all look under done!
Why the german title?🧑🦯
Don't you get it? "Gluten" instead of "guten"?
Sorry that was a FAIL
Why didn't you tell us the difference between them
We tuned in for your opinion and you didn't give it
You just made a lot of silly faces
He pointed to the 80%. You're not paying attention.
Yes I saw that he pointed at the 80%
Still would like to know the differences and why the 80% is better than the other two
What kind of comparison is that ,get to the end of the video and he points at one
@@cybergypsy6380 Sorry, I thought you missed it. You're right. He should have gone into more detail about the differences.
It's all good
When you're a newbie like me
You need all the help you can get
@@cybergypsy6380 If you're a newbie, just stick with the lower hydration for now. The hardest part about more water is handling the dough and forming the pizza. It doesn't really matter what Ramon thinks. What matters is what you like and what works for you.
Give me CT / NY pizza all day . Napoli pizza overrated.
piizzas look like a 2 year old made them
