Pizza Bianca is the traditional Italian pizza from Emilia-Romagna, a region in Northern Italy. The dough can be either light and thin or crunchy and thick, and usually contains sourdough leavening. This type of dough will never rise as much as Neapolitan style pizza dough which results in a fluffy airy crust that’s slightly chewy. The Bianca is said to be a thin crust, white pizza.
It has been claimed that the Bianca Pizza was invented in the town of Millesimo in Romagna but this is not supported by any evidence.
Today, a Bianca Pizza is made with equal parts of 00 flour and water and requires the toppings to be placed on top before baking. Traditionally, some form of tomatoes and mozzarella cheese were added after the dough was finished rising.
