Cottura
Italian · pronounced kot-TOO-rah
The bake itself, treated as a specified stage rather than a duration. The AVPN standard fixes the Neapolitan cottura at 60-90 seconds on the floor of a wood-fired oven at roughly 430-480°C, which is what forces nearly every other specification in the standard.
