Pizza is a universal food. Originally confined to Italian
neighborhoods, pizza has now become mainstream. Travel anywhere in the
world and you will be able to find some type of pizza.
As noted bread baker Peter Reinhart explained to me: "Pizza is the
perfect flavor delivery system." Pizza is the ultimate comfort food.
With a little practice, you can easily make your own delicious home
made pizza.
Here are four reasons why you should make your own pizza.
1) Making pizza is easy. With the basic tools found in any kitchen,
you will be able to make pizza dough. All pizza dough follows the same
basic pattern. Mix flour with yeast, water and salt. Some pizza dough
recipes call for oil, however this may be omitted. (I use olive oil in
my recipe, but this is a matter of preference.) There are many
wonderful pizza dough recipes available to you. You need to find one
that you like and will satisfy your own taste.
2) Making pizza is healthy. Since you are making your own pizza, you
have total control over the ingredients used. I encourage you to use
the freshest ingredients available. The old standards, pepperoni,
sausage, tomato sauce, and various cheeses, like mozzarella, make
excellent toppings for pizza. There are many vegetables that can be
used for pizza as well, including fresh garlic, tomatoes, eggplant,
peppers, onions, mushrooms and zucchini. Fresh seafood such as shrimp
and clams can also compliment your pizza. Experiment. You will create
new taste sensations. You are only limited to your imagination when
deciding what to put on your pizza....
