Make Neapolitan Pizza at Home with a Cooking Steel

Making Neapolitan pizza at home can be a delightful experience, especially when you have the right tools. One such tool that can elevate your pizza-making game is a Cooking Steel. Unlike traditional pizza stones, a cooking steel retains heat more efficiently, ensuring a crispier crust and a more authentic pizzeria-style pizza.


What You'll Need:

  • Cooking Steel: This is the star of the show. It helps achieve that perfect crispy crust.
  • Pizza Dough: You can use store-bought dough or make your own.
  • Toppings: Fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Pizza Peel: To transfer your pizza in and out of the oven.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Preheat Your Cooking Steel: Place your cooking steel in the oven and preheat to 500°F (260°C) for at least 45 minutes. This ensures the steel is hot enough to give your pizza that crispy base.

  2. Prepare the Dough: While the steel is heating, roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. Assemble the Pizza: Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce, add slices of fresh mozzarella, and top with basil leaves.

  4. Bake the Pizza: Using a pizza peel, slide the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated cooking steel. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle with olive oil, and slice. Enjoy your homemade Neapolitan pizza with family and friends!
