I actually insist on using scissors to cut these pizzas instead of a wheel, because the dough is so light and airy that a wheel just crushes the structure. When you take a bite, you want that crunch followed by the cloud-like texture inside, and it only works if we protect that cornicione. ### The Science Behind the Crust People often ask what makes my Neapolitan pizza different. It starts with the 48-hour fermentation cycle. I use high-hydration dough (often hitting 72% or more), which is notoriously sticky and fragile to handle. This high water content is exactly why the crust ends up light and airy rather than dense. When I stretch these by hand, I am working with a living, breathing dough that reacts to the temperature and humidity here in Navi Mumbai. ### Ingredients That Matter You will see San Marzano tomatoes in most of my sauce bases—they have the perfect acidity to cut through the richness of the cheese. Whether it is a classic Margherita, my Burrata Pesto special, or the Fungi pizza with caramelized onions, the ingredients are the star. I source artisanal fresh mozzarella and imported '00' flour because, honestly, you cannot fake the foundation of a good pie. Sab log mast ho jaate hai yahan (everyone just has a blast here) when they realize how fresh ingredients change the game. ### Why My Kitchen (Or Yours) Whether you are catching me at a private catering pop-up in Kharghar or joining one of my weekend workshops, the goal is the same: demystifying the process. If you have ever wondered why your home oven pizza does not puff up right, it usually comes down to heat management and dough hydration. In my classes, we skip the theory-heavy stuff and go straight into the hands-on fun—kneading, shaping, and eventually mastering that 90-second bake. If you are planning a house party or a corporate event, I bring this whole setup to you, portable Ooni ovens included. It is not just dinner; it is a bit of theater. Let us make some noise in the kitchen. ## About Akasha Pizza Heaven I’m Akash. I quit my corporate job, traveled the world, and got completely obsessed with the art of dough fermentation. Now, I run my pizza lab in Kharghar, and I love nothing more than sharing the secrets of a perfect Neapolitan crust with anyone ready to get their hands messy.
