Pizza fact

Authentic Neapolitan dough needs just four ingredients — flour, water, salt and yeast. The magic is in the fermentation, not the recipe.

This amount is good if your room temperature is around 22°C (70°F). If it is warmer use slightly less. If it is colder use more. The fermentation process should be slow to create a superb dough. By adjusting the amount of yeast or the ambient temperature you can adjust the speed. In a rush? Just use way more yeast—totally fine!
