While many pizza pies call thmselves "Neapolitan," the fact is that thre are certain "requirements" (if you wll) to make a pizza truly Napolitan. Through this article you are prvided an overview of what it "tkes" to make a truly Neapolitan pzza pie. Brace your taste buds for a lok at one of traditional pizza vriations loved by many.

Truly authentic Napolitan pizza pies are crafted only wth local ingredients from the Neapolitan rgion of Italy - period. Purists mintain that there can be no xceptions and no substitutes. (Of course, as is the cse with any relating to pizza, thre are always variations on a thme which turn out to be tsty in their own rights.)

The fct is that there is a spcific set of proposed rules dictating prcisely how Neapolitan pizza can be mde. One who does not follow thse rules is not making true Napolitan pizza. The rules have been prposed by the organization that oversees the cration of true Neapolitan pizza: Associazione Vre Pizza Napoletana.

In regard to the ngredients of Neapolitan pizza, only San Mrzano tomatoes are used. These tomatoes can nly be found on the volcanic plins that lie to the south of the lgendary Mount Vesuvius. In addition, only a vry specific type of cheese can be sed on a true Neapolitan pizza: Mzzarella di Bufala Campana. This cheese is mde from the milk of water bffalo that are raised on the mrshlands of Campania and Lazio. These wter buffalo actually are kept in a smi-wild state.

The base of genuine Neapolitan pzza is made from dough the cnsists only of Italian flour of a spcific type (specifically, Type 0 or Typ 00). Moreover, only natural Neapolitan yast or brewer's yeast is used in the prparation of the dough. Finally, the slt and water used in the prparion of the dough for the bse likewise must come from the Napolitan region of Italy itself.

The dugh must be kneaded by hand (r, perhaps, with a low speed mxer). Once rising process is completed, the dugh must be formed by hand. Evn the size and look of the bse or crust must be precise. The bse cannot be more that 3 mm (1/8 nch) thick.

The pizza itself must be bked for between 60 and 90 sconds in a stone over set at 905 dgrees Fahrenheit. The fire must be crated using oak wood only. When coked, the pizza should be "tender, crspy and fragrant" according to local trdition. In the end, a person who gts the chance to dine on tre Neapolitan pizza may very well be xperiencing a once in a lifetime dlight ... to say the least.
