Our fav - Pizza

Pizza – we all thought that the food is an Italian creation…how wrong!! Pizza was actually laid by the early Greeks, in the 18th century, the then known as flat bread, found its way to Italy which they later called Pizzas. Pizza then was topless :), and often sold to poor people because of its cheap price, then from flat bread untopped, Pizza was improved by Italian people.

Today Pizza is so known that it has its International Pizza Day. When we say Pizza - it is made of different styles with toppings…here are some Pizza styles

Pan style – cooked in a pan with oil that fried the bottom part for a crunchy bite, a little different from baked pizza. Amount of toppings has nothing to do with the name – top less or more, whatever we prefer.

Thin style – thin crust style is crispy in the outside and soft inside, toppings and cheese are moderately applied with thinner sauce.

Thick style – thicker crust usually baked on the oven heart, with bigger dough weight and proofing. When cooked – this has crispy bottom and a bit chewy with moderate thickness.

There are other different styles of Pizza, but the only thing that differs are their type of crust, their toppings and cheese – now, I guess its time to get your slice of pizza :)
