Americans are STILL falling for the biggest fib in Pizza, Part 1! (Dont be fooled by FAKE pizza!) Maplecook 2024-07-14 | Neapolitan pizza dough is the most recognized in the world, but many get it wrong…and the other night, I ate probably the worst one I ever had. Neapolitan pizza dough is made up of very few ingredients, water, salt, yeast and all-important flour. The taste and crunch make all the difference, and these guys messed up just about every step. Not enough basil. Cheese was burnt, and of the wrong type. The crust was ALL wrong, and had zero leoparding. It was on the level of a cheap, frozen pizza, even though they called it, “Italian,” and, “Margherita.” And on top of it all, they charged me a premium price! Grrrrr!!But all is not lost! This horrible experience spurred me on to go seek out a GENUINE Neapolitan Pizza, which I will show you in part 2! And in part 3, I will take you into my kitchen at home, and show you how I make pizza Napolitana!
