Tips

  • The dough needs to sit in the fridge minimum overnight up to 24 hours for the flavor to develop.
  • Don’t overneed it because it’s going to sit in the fridge minimum overnight up to 24 hours.
  • The full fat mozzarella will give the pizza that unctuous delicious creamy mozzarella texture and flavor.
  • The mix of cheeses will give you the chew from the low moisture mozzarella.
  • The Parmigiano Reggiano acts like cellulose and potato starch, and it dries out the cheese mixture.
