Hi HN,<p>I have been trying to figure out homemade Neapolitan pizza for quite sometime, early on I blamed my oven, then pizza stone, then loud motorcycle down the street. After watching numerous YouTube videos and reading blogs I&#x27;ve settled on this method, it works but requires precision - i.e. one has to use a weightscale and a thermometer, and a pizza steel - pizza stone just didn&#x27;t work in a regular home oven. Cooking has been a relaxing escape during this pandemic, Neapolitan style pizza requires multiple days of prep and at the end results are delicious delicous pizzas that delivery just can&#x27;t replicate.<p>Thank you!<p>(disclaimer: links to Amazon are affiliate links, I&#x27;ll see if those can cover the cost of domain, if not I&#x27;ll just use a generic github or netlify domain)

Interesting! Never heard of pizza steel before. I&#x27;ve been using a pizza stone in a regular 230 °C oven for quite some time now. Do you think a pizza steel will make a difference at such a &quot;low&quot; temperature?<p>And one more question: why should I want to choose a higher&#x2F;lower hydration of my pizza dough?
