120 minutes

Pizza dough is the heart of Italian cuisine, the key to its flavor and texture. The secret of softness and elasticity lies in the slow fermentation process, allowing yeast to create the perfect balance of lightness and firmness. Made from a traditional recipe, the dough serves as a base for many variations—from classic Margherita to exotic toppings. Its airiness combines with a crispy crust, creating an unmatched gastronomic pleasure. Pizza with such dough is perfect for home evenings, lively parties, or family dinners, as its taste is familiar to everyone and its simplicity makes it accessible for any cook.
