[Food] Italian pizza

When it comes to pizza, the first reaction is Pizza Hut, which is common in shopping malls. Pizza hut's pizza represents American pizza, which is still very different from the pizza of origin. Americans are still playing jokes on Italians: Mafia runs rampant in the United States, and pizza shops are opened everywhere, which makes us Americans fall in love with this pie mixed with cheese, vegetables and meat.

Italians, who have always regarded the mafia as a serious social problem, retorted: We will not accept American fast food pizza places like Pizza Hut and Domino's in our hearts, just as Starbucks can't attack us? .

Knowledge point 1: What is an authentic Italian pizza?

The answer is Tana pizza in Naples? Margaret pizza in Naples. As early as ancient Rome, there was a common folk snack in Naples: round cakes made of flour and water, then cooked on hot stones, and finally sprinkled with spices, olive oil and honey.

Italian pizza pays attention to simple ingredients, traditional fire roasting, simple and simple appearance, but delicious. There are two kinds of pizza in Naples, classic Margaret pizza and Mariana pizza. In 20 15, Italy applied for and was successfully selected into the world intangible cultural heritage list based on Naples pizza.

Knowledge point 2: Why is it called Margherita Pizza? ?

Time has come 1889 summer-when the Italian king and princess visited Naples, Queen Margaret heard about the delicious pizza for a long time and came to Naples to taste it herself. The chef prepared three kinds of pizza for the queen: one has lard, cheese and basil leaves; One with olive oil, garlic and tomatoes; There is also one with fresh cheese, tomatoes and basil leaves.

Margaret likes the third kind of pizza best, especially appreciates the creativity of color matching-the white of fresh cheese, the red of tomatoes and the green of basil leaves coincide with the three colors of the national flag. Since then, this pizza has been named "Margaret" and has been used ever since.

This legend began with the pizza shop Pizzeria Brandi in Naples, which opened at 1780. Of course, it still exists today Those lucky enough to go to Naples may wish to return. In fact, this famous Margaret pizza may have been born several years before the Queen's visit. Now it seems to be only a very successful marketing, but it also shows that the Italian complex for pizza has penetrated into the bone marrow and naturally became Italy's "national dish".

And the cheese can only be mozzarella, and it is best to use Bufala cheese from Paestum.

Tomatoes are best produced in San Marzano, where the Italian name of tomatoes is "Pomodoro", not "tomato" in the general American population.

This standard comes from the hometown of pizza-Naples, a major town in southern Italy, where there is the highest court of pizza industry-Associazione Verace Pizza Naples. None of the above is true, and it can't be called "Margaret" pizza in a strict sense. After all, it also represents the glory of the Italian royal family.

Pancakes, thick, with soup in the middle.

For Italians, pizza is just a social snack with beer, not a "staple food" in the eyes of Americans. So Italians focus on enjoying the stuffing of pizza, and the bottom of pizza must be light and thin. Skilled pizza chefs can hide a layer of soup between the pizza crust and the stuffing.

The flour for making the bottom of the cake is very strict-it can only be "00" flour and can be mixed with 20% "0" flour at most. The bottom of the cake made of other flour is not qualified Italian pizza at all.

In addition, the dough should be put in the oven for at least 10 hour. Note that the general oven is unqualified and must be a wood stove (it is better if it is oak, cherry or apple wood fire). When baking, the temperature should reach 485 degrees Celsius.

Knowledge point 3: Margaret pizza pizza? What kind of person is margarita?

? Margaret is a classic super popular product in pizza! Ingredients include San Mazano tomato, mozzarella cheese, buffalo cheese (mozzarella cheese), basil leaves and virgin olive oil.

Although the ingredients are simple, it is a staple food that many Italians can't get tired of all their lives. There is an old saying in Naples: Don't eat too complicated pizza, it is expensive and hurts your stomach. Watching pizza is easy. In fact, his sauce is extremely rich. Only the perfect combination of sauce and bread is a qualified pizza.

Knowledge point 4: What is Marina's pizza Marinara like?

San Mazano tomatoes, garlic, oregano leaves (mint) and virgin olive oil are used as raw materials.

Knowledge point 5: Where can I eat pizza in Naples?

Italians' obsession with food is well known.

The answer is: Antica Pizzeria Da Michele, a century-old classic pizza shop in Naples, was founded in 1870 because of Julia? Roberts' film Food, Prayer and Love became famous here. Only classic Margaret and Maryana pizzas are sold here. Margaret 4 yuan! Double cheese 5 yuan! A big one! (When I wrote this, I was already greedy ...)

Address: via Cesare Sersale, Naples, Italy,1-3,80139.

Knowledge point 6:? What does pizza have to do with Kyle Poirot?

The answer is nothing! Search the origin of pizza casually, and you will surely see: It is said that Kyle Poirot ate scallion cakes in the north of China when he traveled to China, and he never forgot them. Although I didn't know how to bake it, I still had a lingering fear, so I vividly described the scallion cake I ate in China to a chef friend from Naples at a party. But it doesn't work. In the end, you should put the stuffing on the cake. The chef tried it several times, and with other ingredients, pizza was born!

However, this is very serious nonsense. There is a very serious bug in this statement, because in the13rd century when Kyle Poirot lived, the most important raw material of pizza-tomato has not been introduced to Europe! The edible history of tomatoes is not long, that is, more than 400 years, which really has nothing to do with Kyle Poirot in13rd century.

Knowledge point 7: Can pizza put a lot of meat?

The answer is no, in the Italian concept, there can only be one kind of meat on each pizza.

For example, the ingredients of pork pizza can be Parma ham and salami (a kind of pickled sausage that southern Europeans like to eat). Seafood pizza includes sardines, tuna, prawns, sea rainbow and so on.

In Italy, you won't see all kinds of meat-mixed pizzas, chicken pizzas, mutton pizzas and beef pizzas.

But America has always been a paradise for meat lovers. As long as it is given by butchers, they are willing to accept it. So is pizza. Italians call Americans typical "nouveau riche"-they are not only uninhibited, but also dare to "greet" any piece of meat on the pizza, and even directly name it "trash can".

& gt& gt& gt Knowledge Link: What are the choices of fillings in Italian pizza? For example, ham (famous Italian ham, there are raw and cooked points: raw ham-prosiutto Cruso; Cooked ham-prosciutto cotto, Funghi (mushroom), Salame Piccante (Italian spicy ham, a little spicy and salty), Carciofi (artichoke, the king of vegetables, one of the main ingredients of four seasons pizza), olives, etc.

Knowledge point 8: Do you put pineapple in Italian pizza?

The answer is not to let go! It is said that pizza is a very inclusive food, but in Italy, pizza is also very simple. You can put cheese, vegetables and meat, but you can't put pineapple. It can't put fruit so much as pineapple! Including but not limited to pineapple, durian, etc.

1960, a Canadian uncle named Sam Panopoulos spilled a can of pineapple on the surface of pizza. Just the year before, Hawaii became the 50th state in the United States, so he had a brainwave and called this pizza "Hawaiian Pizza". Later, Hawaiian pizza became a classic. Not surprisingly, the Italian people naturally resolutely resist this kind of pizza for the following reasons:

* Pizza must be salty, and sweet pizza does not exist in Italian life.

As a fruit, pineapple is rich in water. After baking, the whole cake is wet and sticky, which completely destroys the appearance and dining experience of pizza.

* The moisture contained in pineapple makes it dissipate heat more slowly than other ingredients. It is likely that the pineapple that is still very hot will burn the tongue and mouth first.

In the eyes of Italians, adding fruit to pizza is like rinsing fruit in a hot pot, which is far-fetched and unbearable! So when you go to an authentic Italian pizza shop, don't arbitrarily say what you want to eat: durian pizza, Hawaiian pizza and fruit pizza. Absolutely a joke! Flow! Protect yourself! It is a "mashup" that Italians can't stand. Your behavior is definitely likely to be hurt by crit!

Tip: It is not impossible to eat sweet pizza in an Italian pizza shop, such as hazelnut chocolate pizza, which is very rich and delicious.

Knowledge point 10: Can I share a pizza in an Italian pizza shop?

The answer is no! Because in Italy, a pizza is usually for one person and there is no share! Even if the pizza you order is bigger than the plate, you usually eat it yourself. Moreover, the store is also sold as a whole, and it will not be cut and will not give you the possibility of sharing.

However, it is not difficult to eat a pizza, especially the thin Italian pizza. If your appetite is really small, you can empty your stomach and go to a pizza place.

Knowledge point 1 1:? Can you eat Italian pizza gracefully with a knife and fork?

Yes, yes, but let's skip it and get started! How simple! When it comes to eating Italian food, what comes to mind is not such a scene-sitting on a long dining table with a knife and fork gracefully! But in fact, in Italy, eating pizza is not too particular. Tear it straight into your mouth and eat it in one bite! If you don't want to tear it, fold it up or roll it up. The elasticity of Italian pizza is still very beautiful ~!

Knowledge point 12:? Is Italian pizza more suitable with wine?

That's right. How can it not be worthy of "wine"? ! But drinking is also about matching. Enjoy pasta, seafood and other delicious foods with white wine, and enjoy heavy red meat with red wine! Pizza with beer, coke or soda will do! If you want to feel the most original and pure Italian pizza style, try Italian local beer, which is absolutely cool!

Knowledge point 13: Can I eat pizza in any restaurant in Italy?

It's really easy to eat pizza in Italy, which is found in every corner of the streets. But if you are in a hurry to eat pizza, it is generally recommended to choose pizza. Of course, other types of Italian restaurants, such as Ristorante, Trattoria and Osteria, also sell pizza, but they are certainly not as authentic as Pizza, which only sells pizza! After all, it's not surprising that they can only make the most delicious pizza for decades or even hundreds of years!

I have something to say: there are many famous century-old pizza shops in Italy, and there are not many choices for your tastes. For example, they only sell Margaret and Mary Nana, and the value is not high. There is a sense of pride that you like eating but don't like eating, but the more you eat, the more likely you are to get authentic pizza! Because people just have proud capital!

Knowledge point 14:? Is Italian pizza a thin pizza?

Wrong, "thin bottom" is not a unified feature of Italian pizza. The most representative Neapolitan pizzas and Roman pizzas are well-deserved thin-bottomed pizzas, but there are also many regions in Italy that are rich in thick-bottomed pizzas, such as Stephane in Sicily and Sadnara in Genoa.

Roman square pizza: Square pizza, also known as "sliced pizza", is generally baked in an electric furnace with a rectangular thin bottom, sliced and weighed for sale. We can see it in simple pizza shops, bakeries or supermarkets on the roadside. I don't pay much attention to ingredients, from "light pizza" with only cheese to "luxury pizza" with various ingredients.

Sicilian pizza? Sapoli ideality Li

This pizza looks a bit like our pie, with tomatoes, onions, anchovies and bread crumbs on the surface. After baking, both appearance and taste give people a fluffy feeling. But some Italians don't recognize this "pizza" as authentic pizza, but interestingly, Sicilian pizza is also the ancestor of American pizza.

Sadnara pizza? It comes from Genoa, the capital of Liguria. The traditional Sadnara pizza is thicker than the usual pizza and generally consists of onions, garlic, anchovies and black olives. It is also very popular in the south of France. It is a traditional food of Nice, Marseille and Toulon.

Half moon pizza? Cooking channel

Basically, the practice of pizza in Naples was continued, but the ingredients were laid aside. After spreading the ingredients, it folded the round pizza dough and pressed the edge of the cake with a fork. The fillings include whey cheese, mozzarella cheese, salami and Parma ham.

Toto, the most famous comedian in Italian film history, has a classic line about pizza: "I'll treat you to pizza, so don't take the money!" " This has also become a common joke when Italian friends invite them to dinner.

Toto, a Neapolitan, once wrote in an essay: "The pizza box is square, the pizza is round, and it is cut into triangles when eating. Look, life is in a pizza. "

By the way, when you lift the pizza, remember to say "Buono appetito" loudly? (Good appetite)! "Eat again.
