Each base starts with strong Italian “00” flour and filtered water, a touch of sea salt, and a carefully measured fraction of high-quality yeast. Dough is mixed, gently folded, and undergoes a slow, controlled 48-hour cold fermentation to develop complex, slightly tangy flavours and strengthen gluten structure without heavy sourness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, the dough is hand-stretched into classic 12\" Neapolitan Pizza base with a pronounced puffy edge. Bases are par-baked at very high heat to set the crumb and create the signature leopard-spotting and light blistering on the surface, then rapidly cooled to lock in texture. The result: a base that’s airy and chewy in the center, with a crisp, tender rim that re-crispifies beautifully on final bake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey attributes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin centre with an open crumb; cornicione that’s soft yet crisp — bites are chewy without being doughy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mildly sweet and wheatie with pleasant fermentation notes — not over-soured, supporting any topping profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even browning with classic charred spots; ready to take toppings without sogginess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvenience:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-cooked for faster finish-baking — reduces home bake time and risk of undercooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to finish (best results)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreheat oven to 250–300°C (480–570°F) if you have a pizza stone or steel; otherwise 240–260°C (465–500°F) on the highest setting.
