How do you make Neapolitan pizza though?

You will need:

*For the dough:*
500g/1lb 2oz strong plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh yeast
325ml/11fl oz lukewarm water

*For the topping:*
300g canned plum tomatoes
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
30g/1oz Parmesan, freshly grated
a few fresh basil leaves or some dried oregano
140g/5oz mozzarella, roughly chopped
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

*For the additional toppings:*
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 rosemary sprig, chopped
30g/1oz taleggio, grated
2 slices speck
½ courgette, sliced
¼ aubergine, sliced
1 slice prosciutto
handful rocket leaves

*Instructions:*

- Preheat your oven to 250C/500F/Gas 9.

-  In a large bowl, place the flour and salt together. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water and gradually add to the flour. Mix well until you obtain a dough. If you find the dough too sticky, just add a little flour.

- Shape the dough into a ball and leave to rest covered with a cloth for 5 minutes. After this time, you will find the dough much more pliable to work with. Knead the dough and split into two. Knead each piece for a couple of 
minutes each and form into balls. Sprinkle some flour on a clean kitchen cloth and place the dough on it covering 
with a slightly damp cloth. Leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

- Place the tomatoes in a bowl and squash them slightly, add salt and pepper and mix well.

- Sprinkle some flour on a clean work surface and with your fingers spread the dough into a roughly round shape 
with a border. Make the dough as thin as a pancake but beware not to split the dough. Sprinkle some breadcrumbs 
on two large flat baking sheets and place the pizza bases on them.

- Spread a little of the tomato evenly over each base - not put too much as the pizza will go soggy. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, add a few basil leaves or sprinkle some oregano and top with pieces of mozzarella cheese. Then add topping of your choice.

- Place in the hot oven for 7 minutes (a couple of minutes longer if you prefer your pizza crispy). Remove from the oven, drizzle with some olive oil and eat immediately - pizzas are not very nice cold or reheated!

Enjoy!

"Pizzas are not very nice cold or reheated!" 
As a true Pizza connoisseur, I disagree with that remark.

My apologies, I was speaking in generalities.

Naturally there's no accounting for personal taste, don't let me prevent you from enjoying your pizza the way you like it!

Also now that I know you also enjoy cold pizza, I can take it into account in my further replies. Thanks!
