Publisher's Synopsis
What exactly could someone not like about the pizza? Savory dough topped with a bucket-load of cheese and tomato sauce. For any picky eater in your home, pizza is the best and ultimate dish.
For children, pizza is often counted as one of their favorite foods, while for adults, it is counted as one of the most convenient meals around. From the ability to add the toppings you like, there is rarely a type of pizza that at least one person doesn't love. Italy is known for its gift of pizza to the culinary world. Italian pizzas are considered authentic with a range of healthy topping options. Italians also have their unique technique of preparing pizzas. I sincerely believe that pizza is a healthy food, except for gluten, right? Call me crazy, but I never feel bad after eating pizza. I usually can stay fit and trim when eating pizza two times per week. Think about what the main ingredients consist of. You've got the flour, water, yeast, and tomatoes with a touch of olive oil here and there. And no, if you think that the fast-food chain restaurant pizza is just as healthy, it's most likely not. They probably add artificial ingredients and dough conditioners to make the dough incredibly soft after it's baked. I believe that a pizza is healthy because it isn't fried in oil like French Fries that sit in boiling oil, which can cause a myriad of health problems. It is baked in an oven. Baked items are usually always healthier than deep-fried. Fresh pizza made daily usually doesn't have dough conditioners if they make the dough by hand since it's not a pre-made pizza crust that you buy in the store. The only thing that I can think of that as healthier is if you could find a gluten-free pizza shop. There are not that many of them, but they're out there. So, try a slice one day at one of these places if they sell it by the piece. If not, try a small pie to see if you like it. Gluten is known to cause health issues in many people, so you may want to lay off the real stuff and try some gluten-free pizza one of these days. I tasted it fresh once, and it was delicious. If you love pizza and have always wanted to make pizza within the comfort of your own home, then you have certainly come to the right place. Inside this in-depth pizza cookbook, you will learn every aspect of pizza making, from making the dough correctly to rising the dough, preparing the sauce, to even pairing the pizza with the perfect toppings.
