Stendere la pizza napoletana come un grande maestro pizzaiolo - LO SCHIAFFO di Enzo Coccia

Hi to all of my ItaliaSquisita friends! We're here in Naples and today I'd like to define once and for all, to the whole world that is involved with making and eating pizza, to those who taste it, love it... what the 'slapping' technique, what the art of pizza making is about. Hi, Alex! Now just watch and listen to me carefully, as I am about to give a scientific answer technical and traditional, about the 'slapping'. First phase: if we have a roll that is not round we have the 'pinching' technique, and now your roll is round. Or we can use another technique, the 'rotation' technique. The stretching of traditional Neapolitan pizza from the second half of the nineteenth century. I'm working with my fingertips on the disc of dough. Keep your hands extended. We're pushing the air on the outside from side A and side B, from both sides. We now have to work with both hands. The left hand needs to interact with the right hand in synchronicity. Watch carefully, Alex. Now try to rotate the wrist keeping the elbow away from your torso. So: position of the body straight, rotational movement of the wrist, grabbing the disc of dough and releasing. If you get good at it, you need to try and rotate the pizza with 3 movements only. Take a look. And, to finish, the slapping. And this is important, as these are centuries of history starting from Naples. It might seem very simple, elementary, but this is the art of pizza making: a few seconds to stretch a disc of dough and top it, to make the magic happen. This is the art of a pizzaiolo, recognized by UNESCO on the 7th December 2017. Alex, do me a favor: come here to Naples and let's be together. I'll make you learn and study! I'm waiting for you!
