The dough

36 hours of sleep.
The dough, not us.

It starts with the mother

A living thing we feed every day

Our mother starter is a living sourdough culture: flour and water, wild yeast and good bacteria, fed every single day so it stays bubbling. It's the reason our crust tastes like something, not nothing.

Then we wait. 36 hours of slow, cold fermentation lets the starter break down the flour, building a lightly tangy flavour and that open, blistered crust you only get from real time.

36 hours of sleep. The dough, not us. Now Pizza sourdough Margherita.
How a base gets made

From starter
to oven

Feed

The mother starter gets flour and water every day, so it's lively when the dough is mixed.

Mix

Flour, water, starter, salt, a touch of yeast and olive oil. Nothing else goes in.

Wait

36 hours of slow, cold fermentation. The bit you can't fake.

Stretch

Every base is stretched by hand in store.

Fire

About 90 seconds in the oven, then straight to you.

The whole list

Six things

Good pizza isn't about adding more. It's about leaving the wrong things out and giving the right things time.

Flour

The base of everything. Nothing added to it.

Water

65% hydration. A wetter dough for a lighter, more open crust.

Mother starter

A living sourdough culture we feed every day. It does the work additives fake.

Salt

Seasoning, not a preservative. Big difference.

A touch of yeast

A little help, so every store gets the same rise.

Olive oil

For the crust. That's the whole list.
