Pizza is believed to have it origin in Naples about 1720. Back, then
pizza was basically for poor people, a "fast food" that was sold and
eaten outside. Vendors would navigate the roads boisterously shouting to
publicize their delicacies. The pizzas were kept warm in a scudo, a
copper container that was carried on the vendor's head.

Pizza is best cooked in a wood-burning oven. The smoke that is
discharged amid cooking gives the pizza it delicate aroma, while slender
layer of slag on the base of the pizza gives it a scrumptious taste.
Today, young people love pizza but a word of caution is needed. To be
viewed as nutritious, pizza ought to be produced using ingredients that
are healthful. It should be balanced in carbohydrates, proteins, and
fats and also rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Another
recommended ingredient for pizza is olive oil. It promotes the
development of HDL, depicted as "a healthy kind of cholesterol that
helps clean the arteries."
Furthermore, when pizza is cooked well, it will not cause digestive
problems. This is on the ground that the carbohydrates in the flour
get an abundant measure of hydration amid the kneading and leavening
procedure. On the other hand, the presence of complex carbohydrates adds
to a full feeling, and generally helps keep true lover of pizza from
overindulging.

ReplyDeleteThis post made me crave for a pizza. I've tried different pizzas here in our country and it is true that brick oven pizzas are the best tasting pizza I've had.
