HISTORY OF THE PIZZA

The history of pizza is linked to the consumption of bread by humanity. In the ancient
Egypt when discovering the leavening they begin to prepare a species of bread with
the form and the color of the sun, with flour, water and honey. In ancient Greece this
bread evolved and added fat, spices, garlic and onions. In the time of Dario I the
Great the Persian soldiers put to the bread melted cheese and dates. In Italy it was
known as "bianca pizza" made with bread, fat, herbs, garlic, onion, olives ... the
ingredients available in most humble homes was a dish within the reach of most.
With the arrival of the tomato to Europe from America, this dish took an unexpected
turn. Being in Naples in the sixteenth century when tomatoes were consumed as
food while in the rest of Europe they were not consumed until the eighteenth century.

At first the tomato was considered poisonous and only used in gardening as a
decorative, were not contemplated as food, until one day a Neapolitan peasant for
his need to eat, accompanied his tomato bread and loved, to survive the word spread
and from then on the humble Neapolitan people began to eat the tomatoes with their
dry bread. This combination of bread and tomato becomes a very popular dish in the
region of Naples. Being a dish consumed mainly by humble people, most did not
have their own oven so they prepared the dough in their homes and took it to the
baker to bake it. Over time, due to its high demand, the Neapolitan pizzeros create
their own guild, separated from the classic bakers, preparing the dough themselves
and baking it, becoming a very popular dish among the people who took it home or
he ate it on the street, and street vendors of this rich market also appeared.
It is in the seventeenth century in Italy, specifically in Naples, when pizza appears
as a popular dish as we know it today.

The first pizzeria was opened in the year 1830 "Port 'Alba", which augured little future
and nevertheless remains open to this day. Raffaele Espósito, a well-known pizza
maker from Naples at that time, owner of the pizzeria "Pietro il Pizzaiolo", which we
 Instituto Tecnológico Superior

know today under the name of "Pizzeria Brandi", in June 1889 he was in charge of
preparing some pizzas for the Italian kings, Don Umberto I and Doña Margarita de
Savoya, who were in Naples and wanted to taste that dish so famous that the humble
people of the city consumed, asking to be taken to the royal residence. Raffaele
Esposito baked and sent his majestades three different pizzas: the first,
"Mastunicola", made with lard, cheese and basil; the second, called "Marinara",
seasoned with garlic, oil and tomatoes; and the third, which he named "Monarca"
with which he wanted to honor the kings by drawing the colors of the Italian national
flag (green, white and red) with the ingredients basil, mozzarella cheese and
tomatoes. The latter being the favorite of the queen, so it was renamed by Raffaele
Esposito as "Pizza Margarita". From that moment everyone wanted to taste the
queen's favorite pizza, so it spread throughout Italy quickly becoming the
gastronomic symbol of the whole country and a unifying element since everyone
from the queen to the humblest peasant could eat it It did not take long for the pizza
to be known and appreciated beyond Italy and to conquer the whole world. The
history of pizza has reached our days thanks to a queen and a pizza maker, so if
you want to enjoy as a queen or a king do not miss our original pizzas, with 8 tasty
recipes for all tastes.

PREPARATION OF THE PIZZA

In the kitchen, as in almost anything in life, we can get to complicate as much as we
want, but it also happens the other way around. We can do things as simple as we
want without sacrificing in final quality. One of the recipes that I like to do at home is
the homemade pizza recipe, but homemade does not mean doing it in a way that
does not deserve a place of honor at our table.
With pizza we can complicate everything we want. For example, we can make a
pizza with a specific flour, or mixing flours. We can make the pizza with a cold
fermentation, with several fermentations, we can add sourdough, or put a yeast or
another. We can make pizza with very elaborate tomato sauce, we can use stone
for the oven, some ingredients or others, etc.
To give you an idea a pizza can be as complicated as we want and also everything
simple.

INGREDIENTS

1. 300 g flour
2. 160 g of water
3. 5 g of instant baker's yeast
4. 20 g of extra virgin olive oil
5. 1 teaspoon salt
6. 200 g of tomato sauce
7. 100 g of mozzarella
8. 100 g of ham
9. Step by step to make pizza

PREPARATION

In a bowl we put all the ingredients of the dough: flour, water, yeast, oil and salt and
mix well with a spoon. A pizza dough is like a simple bread. It can be done with any
type of flour and the amount of water will be approximately half that of flour. If we
use a flour with more amount of gluten (strength flour) then we will need more water
and if we use a normal flour (like today) with half water (flour) and a little more will
be enough. Then we will knead. If we have a great mixer because we will not have
to do much. If we do not have the only thing we will do is stretch the dough and pick
with the palm of the hand to get a dough that does not stick to the hands or the table,
it is a thin and elastic mass. Between 5 and 10 minutes will be more than enough. It
will not be necessary to flour the table. Then let's leave the covered dough to
ferment. The goal is to double the volume. And that when it does? The answer is
simple, if it is cold it will take longer than if it is hot. Or on the contrary, if it is hot it
will take less. The better the masses the longer it takes better because the dough
develops in a different way, but with our pizza without complications, it will not matter.
We leave it and when it goes up to double we will continue with the next step. Now
that our mass has grown enough we can continue. We take the dough and degas it,
that is, we knead it slightly so that it returns to its initial volume. We can move on to
divide it to make small pizzas or make a big one. To stretch it without complications
we stretch it with our hands as we can or with a roller, the shape is the least, if it
comes out square if you get a great round mass. We will put the ingredients, first the
tomato, then the cheese and the rest of the things that we want to add. The last step
is that of the oven, and it is not the least important. With the oven preheated to a
minimum of 230 ºC we put the pizza. We can use a stone for the oven or a tray. If
we have stone the base of the pizza will be more crispy but we do not have to
complicate the life, they are very rich in any tray that you have. We will bake for
about 8-10 minutes, until it browns slightly.
