Ingredients
(makes 2 x large pizzas)
I've been making pizza for a decent 7 years now and I won't lie that this was my first (and favorite) Pizza recipe along the years, thought I ended up tweaking the recipe and instructions to better fit my style, I always come back and re-watch this video after a good while of not making Pizza. this guy is wonderful.
For the dough
500g strong flour
Even years later I return to this video. This is without a doubt the best recipe for an authentic pizza!
I could write down the recipe of course, but watching this video while preparing the dough has become tradition for me!
5g salt
10g fresh yeast
Vou ter que fazer com meu amor❤
325ml lukewarm water
Topping for Margherita
Love how occasionally there's some words that he pronounces super british XD
150g tinned chopped tomatoes or tomato passata
Salt & pepper
How did he make the sauce !
1 x tablespoons extra virgin olive oil & extra for drizzling
1 x tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
He reminds me of Ranveer Brar in India. A fantastic chef but also a great storyteller. Love watching this video :)
1 x ball mozzarella
A few fresh basil leaves
Pizza Yola 😂😂
Topping for Prosciutto & Rocket
Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
mmmmmmmmmmmm
very super
1 x ball mozzarella
1 x tablespoon grated parmesan
who isfrom 2026??
4 x slices of Parma ham
Handful of rocket
I made myself a kind of margherita the other day. I must say it was one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. No fancy ingredients, just KISS (Keep It Stupid Simple)
Juice of ½ lemon
Method
If I’m using normal oven, do I bake at the same highest temp that I used for preheating or do I decrease it?
First make the dough. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add the yeast mixture, mixing well until you obtain a dough. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes. Cover with a cloth or cling film and leave to rest in a warm place for at least 30 minutes until the dough has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees centigrade.
How much jäst/jeast?
Take the dough, knock it back, then divide into two pieces, cover each with a cloth and leave to rest in a warm place for a further 30 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the toppings. For the Margherita, place tomatoes or passata in a small bowl, season with salt & pepper and stir in 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Roughly chop the mozzarella.
Having a brick oven is the best ❤
Sprinkle some flour onto a clean work surface and with your fingers spread each piece of dough into a roughly round shape with a border, make the dough as thin as you can but be careful not to tear it. Sprinkle some semolina or flour onto 2 large flat baking trays and place the pizza bases on them.
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over each base. On one, spread the tomato mixture evenly over, sprinkle with parmesan, scatter a few basil leaves over and top with mozzarella.

On the other base, arrange mozzarella and parmesan all over, top with Parma ham.
Place both pizzas into the hot oven and bake for 8 – 10 minutes.
A little tip to everyone:
As he uses a stone oven, the surface he places the pizza on is really hot, as well as the air around it, whereas when we try to make it at home, we have pizza trays or flat trays at room temperature.
If you use a tray the base of the pizza is not going to cook completely in 10 minutes, so try preheating the tray together with the oven and then baking the pizza on the hot tray.
I tried both ways and the first one didn't have a completely cooked dough below the pizza.
Good luck
In the meantime, toss the rocket in a little extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.
Remove the pizzas from the oven, top the Parma ham pizza with rocket and serve immediately.
Straight away I see a wood burning stove in the background... any minute now he will put whatever into that wood burning stove... I'm saying this because the title says HOMEMADE... how many people have wood burning stoves at home again 🤔 biggest waste of time in the world

@citalia Ah but listen ... all very nice ! But people do NOT have a pizza ovens in their homes ! Home ovens can only make it to 300 degrees ish (it is possible to hack some to go to 400), a pizza oven is 400 plus. That is the crucial difference, selling this is a home recipe is a going to leave a lot of people disappointed.

@HelloShitty08I don’t like pizza , any pizza
@lenka7776Thank you sir 😊
@lukecarey613Can you do a Hawaiian pizza next time
@robertbercht9875"Learn How to Make the Best Homemade Pizza with Gennaro Contaldo"... at one time he introduced the "homemade pizza" in a pizza oven...Common sense emigrated to USA i guess
@Sandu21232He definitely is Italian, he mentored Jamie Oliver
@BruceLynesDelicious but wood stove cooking is over rated.
@Alaska-JackThank you Gennaro. I started doin pizza in 2020 and been doing it since then. Your pizza qas my first thank you once again.
@plackiubiePery pantastic pizza uncle
@Hugo_TPainDefinitely cosa nostra, just look at him.
@amorise957Gennaro for the win!
@djc4621love this guy but this dough recipe is awful and just looking at the cross section (7:39) will show you how the dough varies in thickness by like a whole inch. pizza dough (of this kind of pizza) shouldn't even be an inch thick. not even 1/5 inch. thats NOT the best homemade pizza, thats not even close to being a decent pizza. you can't make a decent pizza dough with that much yeast and without letting it rest for at leasdt 8 hours.
@WrDsliestIstDfPer favore inserisci una traduzione in arabo qui sotto in modo che possiamo trarne vantaggio
@عاشقالمستديرة-غ8ثThe most boring pizza...
@fglatzelDid he say how much yeast? Can I use dry yeast?
@WolfgangBrommaBut I heard people say, you must keep the dough for 24-48hours before you proceed?
@shaz7777-e7dScottish English accent?
@Coudy_the_CatIf I put fresh mozzarella like this one on a home made pizza in the oven at 250 degrees it gets a real nightmare though
@kirilpetrov9896the doughs dont go inside the fridge for 24 hours?
@gokibest44ssI like that he always explains how to do it correctly like a good chef does. It's easier to understand.
@bchompooI discovered after 10 years of attempting to make a decent pizza, that the best ingredient, is to have the confidence while making it. Like this man has. Because it´s not complicated, but if you doubt while you cook, or overwork it, it´s going to fail. Cheers
@birdonawii made this pizza it was good thank you chef
@blinks9217Pizza yea! I can eat it all the time..
@emirduratovic9954It's a pity you can't like it multiple times :) I would if I could. It turned out soooo delicious.
@ChloeGreen-t5rWhat does it mean “strong flour”?
@LindaKennedy1980Home made pizza(roasted in a brazier)
@이무현-d6kI understand that the video is old, but explain to me, Gennaro, why did you dry the basil leaves in the oven - it makes no sense. They are much tastier fresh, just add them at the end, no need to burn or dry them. You seem to be an experienced cook, but you allow such simple mistakes.
And the pizza is of course great.
& That's Amore 🎉 💓💓💓🫵 🫶😋
