You may have heard "stone" and "steel" used interchangeably, but the two cannot be any more different. Of course, their purpose is the same - to ensure an even cook and concentrated heat on the bottom of the pie - but their makeup and relative conductivity differ. Stones are usually made from cordierite (a heavy-duty mineral), while steels are made from thin, seasoned metal. Stones tend to be much thicker and heavier than steels as well, which can make them more awkward to move.

After over a decade of perfecting this Italian pizza dough recipe through trips to Italy and conversations with master pizza makers, I can say: this is the closest you'll get to authentic Neapolitan pizza at home!
