Start by stretching the dough. There are several ways to stretch the dough use the technique that you are more comfortable with. Add the tomato sauce. Do not per-cook the tomato sauce. It is best to use San Marzano Tomatoes. Continue by adding the cheese. We used a mix of Mozzarella cheese and Romano cheese. Cook the pizza in your ilFornino Wood Fired Oven. In this video we are using the ilFornino Elite Chef’s Edition. This is a great oven with a Neapolitan Dome. It cooks fast and has a true Neapolitan style look and feel.
