Or, how about the fact that the most expensive pizza in the world &#8211; which features some of the costliest ingredients you can find, including grains of pink Australian sea-salt from the Murray River, lobster from Norway and three different types of caviar &#8211; will cost you an eye-watering R180 000!<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your budget and whatever your favourite topping, there\u2019s no denying that pizza is one of the most loved and most versatile fast foods in the world. So, it\u2019s no wonder that there is a whole day, <strong>February 9,<\/strong> dedicated to this cheesy disc of deliciousness.<\/p>\n<p>In South Africa, pizza is the second most enjoyed fast food, just behind fried chicken and ahead of burgers, with favourite toppings being pepperoni, chicken, mushrooms, ham, pineapple, bacon, feta and avo. Although that queen of pizzas \u2013 the good old Margherita \u2013 still tops the polls when it comes to the most ordered pizza.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate <a href=\"https:\/\/nationaltoday.com\/national-pizza-day\/\">National Pizza Day<\/a>, the chefs from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capsicumcooking.com\/\">Capsicum Culinary Studio<\/a> gave us a quick, simple, no-fuss pizza recipe below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll need:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>10g packet of active dry yeast; 1 tsp white sugar; 1 cup warm water; 2\u00bd cups bread flour; 2 tbs olive oil; 1 tsp salt; 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese; tomato paste; preferred toppings \u2013 chopped ham, shredded chicken, mushrooms, olives etc<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven to 230\u00b0C. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until it froths (about 10 minutes). Stir in flour, salt and oil and combine until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut into 6-8 equal size pieces. Stretch or roll out each one until very thin<\/p>\n<p>Carefully transfer to a lightly greased pizza pan. Spread the base with tomato paste and cover with grated mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Top with other desired ingredients (except if using avo \u2013 which you add after the pizza is cooked)<\/p>\n<p>Chef\u2019s tips: Avoid adding fresh tomato before baking as they will make the base soggy.<\/p>\n<p>For a crispy base, brush the raw pizza dough with a mix of olive oil and crushed garlic before adding the toppings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you like yours simply plain or loaded up, you\u2019ll gobble up these tasty pizza facts.
