The homemade pizza, is always very appreciated by all. You can propose this recipe for a dinner with friends, or as a snack for your children.
In Italy, the recipes for making pizza are many, and each region has its plate according also to the culinary traditions of the place.
If you want to embellish this recipe by adding other ingredients, we recommend the anchovies for instance, or of good Italian ham.
A pizza portion of 200 grams, has a full plate, can be safely consumed once a week, accompanying it with good beer, both light and dark.
Like for the other recipes of pizza, we add the milk in the ingredients. This is because the domestic oven we have in our houses, are not so powerful like the professional one in pizzeria. The cooking is longer, and with the milk (not used in a professional pizzeria), we can keep the pizza or the focaccia soft, avoiding the risk to have a food dry and overcoocked. If you have at home a professional oven for pizza, do not use milk as ingredient.
