The pizza is a typical dish of Italy with different recipes and seasonings according to regions and culinary traditions.
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.
With this article we describe the pizza with potatoes, with delicate taste and sweetish aftertaste, to accompany with a cold beer.
You can vary the recipe, this dish by adding other vegetables, such as zucchini and peppers, or replace the fresh mozzarella, with the fontina cheese or melted cheese.
You can propose this recipe, as a dish to serve for a dinner with friends, or as a tasty snack for your children.
