🍕 The dough starts here: flour, water, salt, and fresh yeast. Four ingredients, endless technique. Everything else — tomatoes, mozzarella, basil — comes later. The real engineering happens in the mix, the rise, the fold. #neapolitanpizza #pizza #dough

A bag of Caputo Pizzeria 00 flour, a glass bottle of water, a block of fresh yeast, and a small wooden bowl of salt sit on top of a Forni stainless steel pizza oven. Behind them on a wooden board are three vine tomatoes, a ball of fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves.
