➤ Notes:
- If you don’t have Italian ’00’ flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour.
- The San Marzano tomatoes are sweeter and less acidic than regular tomatoes, but if you can’t find them, you can use canned crushed tomatoes instead.
- Be careful not to overload the pizza with toppings, as this can make the crust soggy. Less is more when it comes to Neapolitan pizza.
