History of Pizza

Pizza is a type of bread and dish that exists since time immemorial in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. By 997 the term had appeared in Medieval Latin, and in 16th century Naples a Galette flatbread was referred to as a pizza. The pizza was a baker's tool: a dough used to verify the temperature of the oven. A dish of the poor people, it was sold in the street and was not considered a kitchen recipe for a long time. Before the 17th century, the pizza was covered with white sauce. This was later replaced by oil, cheese, tomatoes (after the discovering of America) or fish. In 1843, Alexandre Dumas, père described the diversity of pizza toppings. In June 1889, to honor the Queen consort of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, the Neapolitan chef Raffaele Esposito created the "Pizza Margherita," a pizza garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil, to represent the colors of the Italian flag. He was the first to add cheese. The sequence through which flavored flatbreads of the ancient and medieval Mediterranean became the dish popularized in the 20th century is not fully understood.

How to make a Pizza

 Ingredients

• Premade
  
• 1 egg
• Tomato paste
• Grated cheese (usually mozzarella, romano, parmesan, or some combination)
• Olive oil(Optional)
• Toppings can be almost anything you like including
  • Sliced pepperoni
  • Chopped onions
  • Green peppers
  • Sausage
  • Bacon or bacon bits
  • Chicken
  • Olives
  • Mushrooms
  • Ground beef
  • Ham
• yeast
• sifted flour
• warm water

Steps

1. Spread tomato paste on your pizza dough. .
   
   
2. Add a sprinkling of cheese.
3. Add any other toppings that you might enjoy
4. With a brush add some egg all around your pizza dough.
5. Place your pizza on an oven tray sprayed with olive-oil, so that the pizza doesn't stick.
6. Put your pizza in the oven, and turn it down to about 160C or 320F degrees. #Take it out after about 15 - 25 minutes, depending on your oven. Use your own judgment to tell when the pizza is ready. The cheese should be a golden brown, but it should not be burnt.

Oven Method (fast)

1. Preheat your oven to about 180c or 350F. (C=Celsius F=Fahrenheit.)
2. Sprinkle the yeast into a medium bowl containing 1 1/4 cup warm water and stir until yeast dissolves.
3. Add 2 cups sifted flour and stir until blended.
4. Add another 1 1/2 to 2 cups flour and blend until too stiff to stir with a spoon.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 10 to 15 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. (See "How to Knead Bread Dough" in the Related eHows.)
6. Place the dough in another bowl greased with a small amount of oil. Turn the dough once so that the top is oiled.
7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm place for about 45 minutes--until the dough rises to about double its original size.
8. Dump the dough back onto the floured surface and punch it down, getting rid of any bubbles. Divide the dough in half and let it rest a few minutes.
9. Roll each half into a 12-inch circle, depending on your personal preference for how thick pizza crust should be. (It will puff slightly when baked.)
10. Transfer the dough to an oiled pizza pan or baking sheet, or, if you have a baking stone, to a cornmeal-sprinkled wooden pizza peel for transfer directly to the stone.
11. Add sauce, cheese and toppings as desired. If you like, brush exposed edges of the crust with olive oil.
12. Bake each pizza for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crust is nicely browned and cheese is melted.

Grill Method (Faster)

1. Spread the sauce all over the tortilla but you might want to leave a little crust around the edge.
2. Put on your toppings and arrange.
3. Grate the cheese over the pizza.
4. Simply put it under the grill. Be careful not to get burned and your pizza could sizzle and pop because of the common bubbles in the pizza crust.
5. Take it out after three minutes, it should be done!
