Pizza is a thin flat cake made from different types of dough, yeast, puff or unleavened, with various fillings. This dish came from Italy and has become one of the most popular in the world.
Now no one will name the date when pizza crossed the borders of Italy and became a popular favorite. At first it was a thick dough cake, generously greased with tomato sauce. A little later, cheese was added to the sauce, and then they began to bake pizza with all kinds of fillings.
Nowadays, the variety of pizza can only be surprising - these are all kinds of meat options for fillings, mushroom, vegetable, seafood and assorted options. How can you make a classic ham pizza?
In a large bowl, mix thoroughly half a liter of warm milk, ½ teaspoon of salt and a raw egg.
