PIZZA!!!

Pizza is one of Italia’s best gifts to the world. The round yeasty thin bread topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese have become a beloved staple all over the world. Topping varieties have been added, even localized flavors such as Rendang Pizza or Huevos Rancheros Pizza, and depending where you are in the world the thickness of the crust will be different.



Traditional pizza is made in a wood fired oven that gives the dough a nice smoky flavor with a nice char on the crust, nowadays many restaurants or home cooks use a regular oven and are still able to produce good quality pizza.

Another crucial factor that makes a good pizza is the dough. A nice yeasty dough that rises up slightly as it cooks in the oven. The perfect dough will hold the sauce and the topping perfectly when the pizza is sliced.

To recreate this great Italian gift, we are sharing a simple pizza dough recipe that you can use at home. 
Ingredients:
  • 250 Gr All Purpose Flour

Method:
