Dough – Why can´t I make a goodlooking napolitan style pizza dough

I know you have to use a oven that can get to at least 800°F, and I am using a home integrated kitchen oven, but I can´t get any closer to a good-looking pizza than this

resulting pizza

It taste delicious but I want something like this

Goodlooking napolitan style pizza (or at least something similar).

The ingredients I use are:

  • 450g All purpose flour
  • 230ml water
  • 4g fresh yeast
  • 5g salt
  • 2g sugar

I also use a round metal pizza plate with holes to prepare the pizza because I don´t have palets to move the pizza (like this one metal pizza plate with holes).

I hope someone can tell me how to improve my technice, I am working on a homemade oven that can´t get to 900°F, to take the oven´s lacks of temperature off the equation, so I guess it won´t be an stopper anytime soon.

It does not look baked enough.

Are you using a pizza stone, that might help a little bit.

You could fire up the broiler mode on your oven to crisp up the top of your pizza.

Keep an eye on it so it does not burn.
