The first thing we need so we can make a pizza is the pizza dough, which is the same as bread dough. What you need is :
- 1 and ½ cup of warm water
- 1 and ½ tea spoon of salt
- 1 and ½ tea spoon of yeast
- 3 cups of flour
Mix all ingredients together with a mixer or you can put them in a bread machine. Wait for about 2 hours to rise and you have the pizza dough.
Now, when the dough is ready, you can choose from one of the most famous pizza recipes:

Buon appetito!
Did you know?: The popular pizza Margherita owes its name to Italy's Queen Margherita who in 1889 visited the Pizzeria Brandi in Naples. The Pizzaioli (pizza maker) on duty that day, Rafaele Esposito created a pizza for the Queen that contained the three colors of the new Italian flag. The red of tomato, white of the mozzarella and fresh green basil was a hit with the Queen and the rest of the world. Neapolitan style pizza had now spread throughout Italy and each region started designing their own versions based on the Italian culinary rule of fresh, local ingredients.
