Frequently asked questions

What is a white pizza?
A pizza with no tomato sauce. Instead it has a light white base that lets the toppings and the dough come through.
How long does the dough need?
The recipe uses a long 24 hour ferment, which gives a light, easily digestible dough like a Neapolitan pizzeria.
Can I make it without a baking stone?
Yes. An upside-down tray preheated in a maximum-heat oven gives a very close result.
