Why It Works

Pizza Fritta Napoletana

Campania — Pizza

Oil temperature too low — the pizza absorbs oil and becomes greasy instead of puffing and crisping. Oil temperature too high — the exterior burns before the interior cooks. Not sealing the filled version properly — oil enters through gaps and the filling spills out. Using too much filling — it makes the parcel too heavy and prevents proper puffing. Making the dough too thick — pizza fritta dough should be stretched thin for maximum puff.
