Pizza ① "Pizza" is an Italian-style food made of a special crust, cheese, sauce and fillings. But in fact, this kind of food has transcended language and cultural barriers. , has become a famous drink popular around the world and is loved by consumers from all over the world. But when and where this delicacy originated is currently unknown. Nowadays, facing the millions of pizzas baked every day in Pizza Hut restaurants, the "pizza experts" around the world, everyone naturally thinks that this was pioneered by bakers in Naples, Italy 400 years ago. So who invented pizza? Some people believe that pizza originated from China: when the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo was traveling in China, his favorite was a scallion pie popular in the north. When he returned to Italy he always wanted to be able to taste it again, but didn't know how to bake it. One Sunday, he and his friends gathered at home. One of them was a chef from Naples. Marco Polo had an idea and called the chef to his side and described the chive stuffing in northern China "such and such". Here comes the cake. The chef also enthusiastically made it according to the method described by Marco Polo. But after working for a long time, I still couldn't put the filling into the dough. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon and everyone was already hungry. So Marco Polo suggested putting the stuffing on the dough and eating it. After everyone ate it, they all said "good". After the chef returned to Naples, he made it several times and paired it with Naples cheese and condiments. Unexpectedly, it was very popular among diners, and "pizza" has been spreading since then. According to statistics, there are more than 20,000 pizzerias in Italy, including 1,200 in Naples. Most Neapolitans eat pizza at least once a week, and some eat it almost every day for lunch and dinner. Diners, rich or poor, are accustomed to folding the pizza and eating it with their hands. This has now become one of the basis for identifying the quality of pizza handiwork. The pizza must be soft and hard so that even if it is folded "like a wallet", the outer layer will not break. Currently, the most famous pizza franchise company in the world is Pizza Hut, which was founded in Kansas, USA in 1958. The "red roof" is the distinctive symbol of Pizza Hut's appearance. In more than 90 countries and regions around the world, Pizza Hut has more than 12,300 branches, including nearly 40 branches in China, receiving more than 4 million customers every day and baking more than 1.7 million pizzas. It is understood that the best pizza must have four characteristics: fresh crust, top-quality cheese, top-quality pizza sauce and fresh fillings. The cake base must be made fresh every day. The flour is usually ground from Grade A wheat in spring and winter. This way the cake base will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Pure cheese is the soul of pizza. Authentic pizza generally uses Mozzarella cheese, which is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and calcium and is low in calories. Production process: First mix the weighed flour with our own top-secret ingredients, oil the bottom basin, spread a layer of rich pizza sauce made from delicious tomatoes mixed with pure natural spices, and then sprinkle with soft pizza sauce. 100 grade A mozzarella cheese, topped with carefully selected fresh fillings such as seafood, Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, ham, spiced meat cubes, mushrooms, green peppers, pineapple, etc., and finally put into the oven at 260℃ Bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Well, a delicious pizza is out of the oven. One thing worth noting is: it is ready to eat and has the best flavor. Pizza is generally divided into three sizes according to size: 6 inches (cut into 4 pieces), 9 inches (cut into 6 pieces), 12 inches (cut into 8 pieces), and divided into two types according to thickness: thick and thin. The reason why people like pizza is that in addition to its delicious taste, it also comes with other snacks.
