Crust pizza
The earliest recipes for what we now know as pizza date back to 16th century Italy. These early pizzas were more like flatbreads than the pizzas we are familiar with today. They were often topped with things like garlic, oil, and herbs, and were not meant to be meal. It wasn’t until the late 18th century that pizza began to resemble the dish we know and love today. The addition of tomatoes to the traditional dough and toppings of garlic and oil, gave birth to the Margherita pizza.
Pizza became increasingly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as Italian immigrants brought the dish to the United States. In 1905, the first pizzeria in America was opened in New York City by Gennaro Lombardi. This establishment is still in operation today and is now run by Lombardi’s grandson.
Pizza recipes have come a long way since their humble beginnings in 16th century Italy. Today, there are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings and crusts. Whether you like your pizza thin and crispy, or thick and chewy, there’s a recipe out there for you. So why not try your hand at making your own pizza tonight? You
Advice
When making crust pizza, it is important to take the time to properly prepare your dough. Start by combining flour, salt, yeast, and warm water and kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Once the dough is formed, allow it to rise for several hours, kneading it once more before rolling it out on a floured surface. When rolling out the dough, use a rolling pin to evenly form the dough into a circular shape before topping with your favorite ingredients. Finally, bake your pizza at a high temperature until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted. With these tips, you can enjoy a delicious homemade pizza with a perfect crust every time.
