If you want to eat a real pizza, make sure the dough has been leavened for at least 48 hours! For us, 48 hours is the minimum time required for the dough to rise. A dough that has been leavened for 48 hours with natural yeast will make your pizza light, fragrant and aromatic..
just like in Italy.
Natural yeast has been used for generations in italy.
In fact, back in the day, only one person in the village would have natural yeast and they would use it to barter goods with. Bread was made once a week, and in some villages, just once a month, so natural yeast had to be bartered with or families would go without their bread… a sacrilegious thought to any food-respecting Italian.
At 48h, we want to respect and maintain these traditions and introduce you to true Italian flavours, remastered for today’s refined palates.
