My Favorite Neapolitan Pizza Dough with Freshly Milled Flour

I’ve adapted my favorite pizza dough recipe to work with freshly milled flour, and it’s been a game-changer. Don’t worry, this isn’t a complicated science experiment—it’s all about a few simple tweaks that make a big difference.

The best part? You don’t need any fancy equipment to make this dough. If you’ve got a bread machine, great! But if not, just mix, rest, and you’re good to go. Whether you’re making a classic pizza margherita, or experimenting with pesto and walnuts (a favorite in my house), this dough is versatile enough for any topping you throw at it. And don’t stop at pizza—this dough makes fantastic stromboli, calzones, and pizza pockets for a quick weeknight win!
