It can be said that pizza is the most popular dish in the world and, certainly, one of the most popular. The pizza itself has very ancient origins and the hypotheses regarding its geographical origin and the etymology of its name are numerous and still very uncertain today. What is known for sure is that it is in Naples that this dish has reached excellence, making today "pizza" and "pizzeria" the most well-known Italian words in the world, and that pizza has become a real own symbol of the city.<\/p>\n
Although today there are many different toppings, what we identify as the true and artisanal Neapolitan pizza was certainly born after the eighteenth century, that is, after the use of tomatoes in the kitchen, which, imported from the Americas, was appreciated and spread. at the beginning they were considered very harmful.<\/p>\n
Tomatoes are the fundamental condiment for the preparation of real pizza, present together with olive oil and oregano in Marinara and olive oil, mozzarella and basil in Margherita, the tricolor pizza invented in the 19th century in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy. Certainly, in addition to the authenticity of the ingredients of the dressing, the ingredients of the dough are fundamental: water, fresh brewer's yeast and sea salt, which must be carefully worked and then left to rise for the first time. The forming and the staglio is followed by a second leavening, which precedes a further processing phase, during which the pizza is flattened and seasoned and, finally, cooked in a wood oven.<\/p>\n
That of the preparation of true pizza is considered a real art, of which, beyond the geographical origins, the city of Naples has earned the paternity.<\/p>\n
