The Ingredients That Make the Difference
A successful pizzeria is built on the quality of ingredients. Here are the 10 essential products that cannot be missing from your pantry.
1. Pizza Flour
The foundation of everything. Choose professional flours specifically for pizza:
- Type 00 for Neapolitan pizza, high digestibility
- Type 0 for Roman pizza, crispier
- W 260-320 for long fermentation
2. San Marzano DOP Tomatoes
San Marzano DOP tomato is the standard for Neapolitan pizza. Its sweet flavor and low acidity make it perfect for the topping.
3. Fior di Latte Mozzarella
For baking pizza, fior di latte is ideal: it melts evenly and doesn't release too much water. Choose fresh quality products.
4. Buffalo Mozzarella DOP
For premium pizzas and for adding raw. Buffalo adds creaminess and an unmistakable flavor.
5. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Indispensable for seasoning pizza before and after baking. Choose a quality Italian oil, preferably single-variety.
6. Fresh Basil
The final touch of the margherita. Fresh basil adds aroma and color. Keep it always available.
7. Prosciutto Crudo
Parma or San Daniele DOP for pizzas with prosciutto. To be added strictly raw after baking.
8. Spicy Salami
For flavorful pizzas. Calabrian nduja or Roman spianata add character.
9. Grilled Vegetables
Eggplants, zucchini, peppers: quality grilled vegetables are essential for vegetarian pizzas and beyond.
10. Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
For the final grating or as an ingredient. Parmigiano adds umami flavor to any pizza.
Bonus: Yeast and Salt
Don't forget quality fresh brewer's yeast and sea salt. They are the foundation of the perfect dough.
