New Haven-Style Pizza Ingredients 

Pretty more ingredients you’ll require to make this pizza recipe. Therefore, dividing the ingredients into two parts will help you be stressless and mess-free. Put all the ingredients together that you need for pizza topping. 

And put separate the rest that you need for making the pizza crust. Here’s how to divide them- 

Toppings

Let’s arrange the elements for topping first-

Fresh Calms (¾ Cup)

To make the recipe more delicious and tasty, take ¾ cup of fresh calms. Calms are very healthy to add to this pizza recipe.

Fresh Parsley (1 Tbsp)

Parsley leaves have been making the dish flavorful and tasty since ancient eras. And the Romans and the Greeks were the primitive users of parsley. So, you also can add this herb to flavor your pizza dish. Take 1 tbsp of chopped parsley. 

However, if you don’t find parsley, substitute it with coriander. Because both of these species are of the same family. 

Dried Oregano (1 Tsp)

Oregano is used worldwide, considering the continental regions. It’s one of the best flavorful herbs for making pizzas more delicious. We want to use 1 tsp of dried oregano in today’s dish. 

Garlic (4 Cloves)

To get a good flavor, you need to add minced garlic. So, take 4 cloves of garlic for this recipe.

Cornmeal (2 Tbsp)

To make the pizza crust, you have to roll the dough. At that time, the surface should be dusted with flour to avoid sticking with the dough. So, take 2 tbsp of cornmeal. 

Parmesan (½ Cup)

It’s a full-flavored hard Italian cheese that acts as a topping agent in many dishes. Adding the parmesan will increase the taste and flavor. 

Crushed Red Chili (1 Tbsp)

The red chili flakes or crushed red chili will also be a great topping. So, take ½ tbsp to use while serving your pizza. 

Kosher Salt (½ Tsp)

We like to add kosher salt just because of the added flavor. You can substitute it with regular white salt as well. Take ½ tsp if it’s kosher and 1 tsp for white salt. Kosher salt comes with a bit more salty flavor than regular salt. Thus, you shouldn’t take the same amount.  

Shredded Mozzarella (¾ Cup)

You need to take ¾ cup of mozzarella cheese to make a sticky texture. 

Olive Oil (½ Cup)

You also need ½ cup of olive oil for the main recipe and drizzling.

Dough

All-Purpose (2 ¼, & 1 Cups)

The primary ingredient to make the pizza dough is flour. Take 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour to make the dough and 1 cup for kneading and sprinkling on the crust-rolling surface.  

Dry Yeast (1 ½ Tsp)

To make the best new haven pizza, take 1 ½ tsp of active dry yeast. 

Kosher Salt (1 Tsp)

Take 1 tsp of kosher salt. You shouldn’t substitute it with white sugar.

Sugar (1 Tsp)

For a sweet taste, 1 tsp of sugar will be required in this recipe.

Olive Oil (3 Tbsp)

Here, you’ll require 2 tbsp of olive oil to make the dough and 1 tbsp to brush the bowl. 

Warm Water (¾ Cup)

Take ¾ cup of warm water at a minimum of 110° F temperature.  Maintaining the temperature is a must-do job to make an ideal dough.
