This weekend i was making pizza at home. I am not so good at making pizza, as in Italy we usually eat pizza when we go out with friends. The reason is we love pizza that is baked in the wood burning oven the traditional Italian pizza oven. Pizza was invented in Neaples  Italy and still today you can eat at the restaurant where the pizza margherita was invented. It is called brandi and it is close to Piazza Plebiscito the heart of the city. When the queen Margherita visited Neaples in 1899 a pizza with the colors of the Italian flag was created. Green the basil leaf white the mozzarella red the tomato.

Recipe for two: ingredients for the dough 3 cups of flour 1 cup of warm water, fresh yeast 0.3 oz, small cherry tomatoes 8 oz one teaspoon of sugar one teaspoon of salt, mozzarella 8 oz, oil, dry or fresh basil.

Work the dough with your hands on a table by mixing the wheat the water and yeast.Add the sugar and salt and a drop of oil. Work the dough with your hands for at least ten minutes. Keep the dough covered for a long time at least three hours .

Preheat the oven at 500 degrees. Oil  lightly an oven dish, try to distribute  the dough equally on the surface then add the tomatoes and mozzarella in pieces. Reduce the heat to 400 degrees and put the pizza in the oven. Check the dough with a fork to see if it became solid.

The pizza was good, but i still miss the one I can eat in Rome.
