In the Italian Resturant where I worked in year 12 it was always really yummy Mozarella.

 

Another great thing we did there was getting the pizza bases which were a medium thickness then using a paint brush cover them with an olive oil mix with heaps of fresh finely chopped garlic through it. A sprinkle with garlic salt and it was good to go into the oven. YUMMY!

 

The make your own pizzas at Cortina where the bomb too. Some guys went made with the toppings smile

I just bought garlic salt today to do this exact thing with our pizza's!

Our local also sprinkles fresh rosemary over it, and then serves with Olive Oil and Balsamic for dipping.

I have fresh garlic, and I have rock salt in a grinder, but the Garlic Salt (which is 3 parts salt and 1 part garlic powder with some anti caking agent like calcium) is really convenient and sprinkles really really well.

 

It is much better on this type of pizza than actual chunks of garlic and largish ground sea salt.

 

But it is not what I use routinely - I tend to use fresh garlic in my cooking, and rock salt freshly ground.

hmmm...not listed on the ingredients list of my bottle - but I will keep an eye out on that. I have an asthma reaction to MSG.

good point....but no I didn't...

Maybe I have avoided it for so long the effect is not so dramatic as previously. I will be checking my garlic salt bottle though!

Pizza in Naples 'cooked with wood from coffins'

 

Italian prosecutors believe pizza in the southern city of Naples may be baked in ovens lit with wood from coffins dug up in the local cemetery, according to Italian daily Il Giornale.

 

"Pizza, one of the few symbols of Naples that endures... is hit by the concrete suspicion that it could be baked with wood from coffins," Il Giornale said.

Investigators in Naples are setting their sights on the thousands of small, lower-end pizza shops and bakeries that dot the city on suspicion that the owners may "use wood from caskets to keep ovens burning."

 

Naples' graveyard has long been hunting ground for thieves: last year, 5,000 flower pots were stolen from the cemetery.

 

"A gang might have set up a market for coffins sold to hard-hearted owners of bakeries and pizzerias looking to save money on wood," Il Giornale said.

 

According to tradition, Neapolitan pizza should be cooked in a stone oven with an oak-wood fire.

 

Neapolitan pizza was invented between 1715 and 1725, with the world-famous Margherita variant first cooked up in 1889.

 

Tradition has it that queen Margherita of Savoy asked one of Naples' famed pizzaioli to come up with a dish for the people.

 

The result, which provides the basis for most pizzas enjoyed around the world, represented the colours of recently unified Italy: green basil, white mozzarella and red tomatoes.

 

Italy's estimated 25,000 pizzerias employ around 150,000 people and account for a turnover of 5.3 billion euros.

 

Funny shape for a pizza. More like an open baguette sandwich
