In reply to Ayie. Yes, you can absolutely use a mix of bread flour and 00. Let me know how it turns out!

Hi, this turns out so well and flavorful.

If I make for two batches of this recipe, can I mix bread flour with 00 flour?

Do you think, it will turn out well?

Thank you

This is without a doubt the best pizza dough recipe on the internet. I’ve been using this for over 2 years since I made a pizza oven in lockdown and won’t use anything else.

In reply to Peggy Paul Casella. Hi Peggy! It didn't change how much the dough rose, but my husband said the dough was easier to stretch this time, so we'll keep cutting the water by 10% since it's so humid in Florida. Thanks!

In reply to Christine Simeonides. Hi Christina. I do think using less water should work, but let me know if it doesn't!

Hi Peggy! We love your recipe for Neapolitan pizza. I've had trouble over the last year with getting it to rise (same with a bread dough recipe I use). We live in Florida, where it is always humid, and someone suggested adjusting the water in the recipe because of the humidity in the house (even in a new home, with doors, windows shut and AC on). I'm giving that a try today, but if that doesn't work, do you have any other suggestions? I also put the dough in the oven to rise, sealed with a dish towel on top of the bowl as well. I've even doubled the Instant Dry Yeast as well. I'm a a loss.

In reply to Jim. Sure, go ahead! And experiment with different placements in your oven. Every oven is different, so experimentation is the best bet!

Hi Peggy if I want to add a small amount of garlic powder and dried basal for taste would that be ok? Also I have an electric pizza oven that has an upper and lower heating element which I control with separate thermostats. I place the pizza on a stone lower rack. Should I only use the upper element to broil as your receipt calls for in a traditional oven?
