Pizza

Pizza is an invention of greatness. It is bread dough on the bottom, covered with tomato paste, cheese or other toppings. A good pizza will have a dough that is not too squishy, not too hard. In making Pizza, the chef must first make dough out of 500g of flour, 10g yeast, 350 ml warm water, tsp salt, tsp sugar. The chef mixes it all together in a bowl then lets it rise for 1 hr. Once it has risen he will knead it lightly by folding the ball in half then squishing turn it 90 degrees and repeat a couple of times he will roll it out with a rolling pin and place in an oiled tray. Oil a tray by spraying oil on it. Cut off hanging edges and if you want do the next step on it. Now for the great part. The topping. For different pizzas there are different toppings but you can choose what you put on. In this recipe the chef will make margherita. In most pizza there is tomato paste on the bottom. So, the chef will spread tomato paste on the dough but keeping it away from the edges. Then he will sprinkle grated cheese on the tomato paste. And finally he will sprinkle shredded ham on top. Then cook it on the tray for 20 min at 220 degrees in an oven. After 20 min the chef will take the pizza of the tray and cook the pizza by itself for 5 min (without the tray). This is to make the bottom a bit harder as we say at the start. The Bon Appetite!!
