The History of Pizza

Pizza has a rich history, with roots that stretch back through the centuries. From simple bread with toppings to the modern delight we know today, pizza has evolved to become a symbol of international cuisine. The thin crust and varied toppings allow each culture to contribute to this versatile recipe.

Ingredients for the dough:

- 250 g flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon oil (preferably olive oil for a richer flavor)
- 1/2 cube of fresh yeast
- 150 ml lukewarm milk (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar (to activate the yeast)

Ingredients for the topping:

- 200 g spicy salami (or your favorite)
- 150 g smoked kaiser
- 2 eggs
- 200 g tomato sauce (or pizza sauce)
- 350 g grated cheese (for an extra cheesy pizza)
- Olives (optional, for those who love them)

Steps to prepare:

1. Preparing the dough:
In a large bowl, add the flour and make a small well in the center. Sprinkle the sugar and salt into the well. Add the egg, the lukewarm milk in which you have dissolved the yeast, and gently mix with a fork. Keep mixing until the ingredients start to combine.

2. Kneading the dough:
Gradually add the oil and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it.

3. Rolling out the dough:
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit the baking tray. Transfer it to the tray and ensure it fits well in the corners.

4. Adding the sauce:
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1 cm edge for a crispy crust.

5. Preparing the topping:
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Add diced salami and kaiser. Mix well to combine the ingredients.

6. Assembling the pizza:
Pour the egg and meat mixture over the pizza base, spreading it evenly. Add half of the grated cheese, sprinkling it evenly over the entire surface.

7. Baking the pizza:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the tray in the oven and bake the pizza for 15 minutes. Then, take the pizza out, add the remaining cheese, and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.

8. Serving:
Once the pizza is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can add olives on top if you wish, for an extra burst of flavor. It’s delicious both warm and cold!

Practical tips:

- Yeast: Make sure the milk is lukewarm (not hot) to activate the yeast without killing it. You can do a quick test: if you put the yeast in the milk and it forms bubbles, it’s ready to use!
- Vegetarian option: If you want a meat-free version, you can replace salami and kaiser with vegetables (peppers, mushrooms, olives) and feta cheese for a rich flavor.
- If you don't have fresh yeast: You can use 7 g of dry yeast, which can be added directly to the flour.
- Customized pizza: You can experiment with various toppings, such as pineapple, corn, or different types of cheese to make the pizza perfect for your tastes!

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the dough will be denser and less fluffy.
- Why didn't my pizza turn out crispy? Make sure the oven is well preheated and that you don’t open the oven door too often during baking.
- Can I prepare the dough in advance? Of course! The dough can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Make sure to let it come to room temperature before using it.

Nutritional benefits:

This quick pizza is a good source of carbohydrates from the flour, protein from the eggs and meats, as well as calcium from the cheese. When consumed in moderation, it can be part of a balanced diet, providing energy and essential nutrients for the body.
