Hi! I’m about to start making the Neapolitan pizza recipe from Luigi Di Domenico’s course.
His recipe says:
500g W280 flour
1 g yeast
12g salt
320 g water
And I’ve managed to get my hands on some W456 flour (with a P/L ratio of 1.14)…
Should I adjust the recipe at all, or do I just need to keep an eye on the resting and kneading times? (I plan to test the fermentation at 24 and 48 hours)
Thanks!! 🙂
Hola! Estoy por arrancar la receta de pizza napoletana del curso de Luigi Di Domenico.
En su receta dice:

1g levadura
12g sal
320g agua
Y he conseguido una harina de W456 ( y P/L 1,14)…
Debo ajustar algo de la receta o solo tendré que ver los tiempos de descanso y amasado? (planeo hacer prueba de fermentación a 24 y 48hs)
Gracias!! 🙂

Hi Joni!
With a W456 flour and P/L 1.14, I wouldn’t change the salt or yeast at first. I’d start with 500 g flour, up to 320 g water, 1 g fresh yeast, and 12 g salt.Reserve about 20–30 g of the water and only add it if the dough can take it. With such a strong flour, focus more on gluten development, resting, and keeping the final dough around 23–25°C than on mixing for too long.
For the 24 h vs 48 h test, keep the formula exactly the same and change only the fermentation time. That way you’ll really see how the flour behaves. If the 48 h dough is still too tight, adjust fermentation before changing the yeast.
I’d test the original hydration first, then move gradually toward 65–66% if you want a lighter, more extensible dough.
Tell me how it goes!
