Thin pizza dough is the foundation of the legendary Italian dish that originated in Naples. This dough is light, elastic, with a crispy crust and tender crumb that perfectly complements the filling. The process of making it is an art: kneading, resting, and rolling transform simple ingredients into a base for endless flavor variations. Olive oil gives the dough a subtle aroma, while yeast makes it airy. This dough is versatile: from classic Margherita to creative gastronomic solutions. It enhances the flavor of the filling without overwhelming it, creating a perfect balance. Baked pizza on thin dough delights the eyes and taste buds, turning an ordinary dinner into a celebration of Mediterranean cuisine.
