This 72 Hours Pizza Dough Recipe Makes The Best Pizza I Have Ever Made

In Naples, it goes against the grain for pizzaioli (pizza chefs) to create a pizza dough recipe with 72-hr fermentation…but after rigorous testing, I can’t help but share my 72-Hour Homemade Pizza with you. While the waiting game requires patience, the end result is 100% worth it.
This homemade pizza recipe with 72-hour dough is fragrant, has a cloud-like texture, not to mention the perfect crunch and might be just as good as authentic Neapolitan pizza - but I want you to be the judge of that! . You'll love every minute of this pizza experience, and I guarantee it will change how you do pizza nights!

[@davidkovarik483]

Vincenzo, I just finished the pizza based on this recipe and I have to say that this is by far the best Neapoletan-ish home made pizza I’ve ever had. My tip - take out the dough balls from the fridge around 5-6 hours before making the pizza. With normal oven (with baking stone) - temperature around 280-300°C - I was able to achieve great results (similar to yours).

I am so stoked to have found this video. We have a pizza place here in Spearfish, South Dakota (Dough Traders). We understand her sourdough starter is from Italy and is over 100 years old. Her pizza looks very much like yours. It is pure heaven. My problem is patience...and refrigerator space. But, I know this challenge will occupy my mind for days to come...Thank you.

[@OlegBaranov-Belgorod]

I make my dough of 270 gr for two pizza balls (22 cm) and they don't require a lot of space in the fridge. I think 1 kg mixing is quite big for a family of two or three. It's quite easy to make more pizza dough. Plus not every flour can work 72h. You need to buy flour that says for long fermantation, but it's typically not for pizza.

[@samuelgalici3604]

Bellissimo impasto, Vincenzo! You show you absolutely don't need the hydration to be more than 65% for the pizza. And it can be done quite well by hand. I find it very interesting that i veri italiani dall'Italia don't use measuring spoons. Un cucchiaino, a teaspoon, most likely not leveled off (as you didn't show it), is close enough. Once again you demonstrate that you are masterful in the kitchen.

[@catherinedavidson7145]

I don't understand the negative comments about your pizza! You make it very clear what you're doing! The long fermentation develops taste, and makes the dough more digestible - but you already know that! 😂 It looks beautiful and I'm sure your family loved it.

[@NiekJacobs-hb3km]

Hi Vicenzo, I tried your recepie with 00 caputo flower, after 3 days it was still too sticky, I used a kitchen aid, but it was very difficult to make a pizza of it, iVe ruined my oven(ooni koda 16) and the pizza, do you have some advise?

[@sebastianahrens2385]

This is quite similar to the recipe it ended up on after trying zo improve my home-made pizza. I don't use olive oil, and I start from the water, not the flour, as Vincenzo mentioned. That way, I can knead the whole thing in a bowl using one hand, and while it also gets sticky (once at the start and once near the end), it doesn't go as far as in the video. Also, I only take it out once to separate the whole dough into individual pizza balls and let those rest in the fridge again until about 4 hours before baking. The reason Vincenzo also mentions these 4 hours is that you want the dough to re-warm gently so it stretches and bakes correctly. Proper warming also prevents you from getting the infamous "measles pizza". There is NO shortcut to this. For one pizza I use 170g flour (Tipo 00 13% Protein), 107g (63%) water, 5.1g (3%) salt and 1.7g (1%) fresh yeast. For easier fridge storage, I bought an actual pizza dough box. Can highly recommend if you're "serious" about pizza, and they're quite affordable at 20-30 bucks for a box and lid. Edit: Ha, wrote the box recommendation before I arrived at the point where Vincenzo recommends one as well.

[@toriless]

Sorry for the off topic question but what it your favorite way to serve Burrata? I have some lovely tomatoes sitting around, would that work at all or are there better options.

[@vincenzosplate]

They do work very well! I hope you enjoy! 😊

[@cynthiasaracino7114]

One of my fav from you. My Italian grandparents had a pizza oven in their farmhouse. We had pizza daily using seasonal food. Made their own cheeses as well. I had American pizza at 14 and thought it was the nastiest did I'd ever put in my mouth. I felt sorry my friends had grown up eating that you're of food 😂😂😂

[@johngrasso2843]

The crust looks superb, lovely spread of bubbles all around. 72 hours though...im too busy in the week so i just do an 8 hour dough on a Saturday morning. Dont get a crust as big as that but its still good. Were you taking the pizza out for video purposes when rotating? I thought the turning peel was to rotate it on the stone so its getting maximum heat without removing it.

[@vincenzosplate]

It was superb! I hope you enjoy this pizza as much as I did 😁🍕

Thank-you Vincenzo for sharing your recipes, especially carbonara! This pizza looks wonderful. The only thing I am wondering about is if you have a bowl with a cover or even just a dinner plate you could cover the dough with in the refrigerator. The plastic wrap makes me sad and seems unnecessary.

[@jessicatsao92]

This definitely is what making a pizza is like. When in doubt, ask someone who is one of the people who invented pizza. The original is always great, because they know what they are doing. There's a reason why people who know great food tend to be particular about how to make the food.

[@pimpovic2]

"It's so simple" - uses a Gozney 😂

[@klasicpao]

I always struggle with the mozzarella cheese. How much to add to the pie?

[@Balthazare69]

My opinion is that most people make the American style pizza, or more precisely, the New York style pizza, where the topping is more important, and the dough is thin, almost like a Mexican tortilla. And in fact, with real Italian pizza, pizza from Naples, the most important thing is the dough, which is puffy and crunchy, while the topping is only there as an addition to improve and enhance the taste of the dough.

[@timtyndall4025]

Thank you so much for showing that we don’t need sugar in our pizza/bread dough. I seriously pissed some creator off when I mentioned that sugar is unnecessary. Got his panties in a tight knot, and he suggested throwing it in the trash. There is enough carbohydrates in the flour.

[@veritanuda]

Interesting, more a sour dough pizza than anything else, which is fine actually, and I do it all the time. The advantage of taking your time, is as you mentioned, very easy to keep it in the fridge for a week, meaning pizza every day except for Sunday ;) Pity I don't have the space for a dome oven like that but oh well.
