Take 2 cups of Heckers All-Purpose and Caputo’s Chef Flour in a bowl. Add some salt and stir it with a spatula.

Now pour ¾ cup water into the bowl. Add the sugar and dry yeast in it. Mix it well.

When the water is soaked within the mixture, pour some water into the flour. Add a tablespoon of oil and start blending the dough. Pound the dough for another 5-7 minutes until it has a better texture. And make sure there are no lumps.

Then, press the dough with your index finger to understand if it needs any pounding. If it reverts back to its original shape, then that’s done.

Give the dough a ball shape. Keep it this way in a warmer place for half an hour. It helps in the thickening of the dough

Step-2: Make The Sauce

By the time the dough sets in, we can prepare the sauce. At Di Fara, Dom used to roughly crush the whole peeled tomatoes. So that you get to have a good chance of getting a tomato chunk in your slice.

Put 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and some basil in the bowl. Then add some water to it.

Take 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. After a while when the oil warms up to 120 degrees, put the tomato paste in it. Cook it for 30-40 minutes in lower heat. When it gets thick, let it cool for a while.

Step-3: Assemble The Pizza

Here comes the interesting part. Now, we’ll put everything together. Just like Domenico, we’ll stretch out the dough into a circle. We’ll be doing this until it gets thin.

Then, Flour a pizza peel and spread the dough out on it. Spill the sauce over the dough and spread it evenly.

Now as Dom prefers it, Grate the regular mozzarella directly onto the pie. And, there comes the Buffalo Mozzarella from Napoli. Put it in clumps evenly around the pie.

After that, Sprinkle the Gran Padano (Hard Cheese) after grating them.

Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over everything just before putting the pizza in the oven.

Place it in the oven at 120-130 degrees. Also, Preheating is not needed before putting it into the pizza. It’s just a regular gas pizza oven with no coals.

Once you notice the pizza’s delicious smell, you can tell your Pizza is ready. The pie is topped with additional Gran Padano as soon as it’s out of the oven.

We’re almost to the final step. Now, throw in a handful of fresh basil and oregano.

And now, The Famous Di Fara Pizza is ready to take you to Pizza heaven!
