The result is a pocket of cheesy goodness that’s perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. Another creative way to utilize this dough is by making garlic knots.

The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to using traditional Italian pizza dough in your cooking repertoire. History: Italian pizza has a rich and fascinating history that dates back centuries. The origins of pizza can be traced all the way back to ancient times, when people in the Mediterranean region would cook flatbreads topped with various ingredients. However, it was in Naples, Italy where pizza as we know it today truly began to take shape. In the late 18th century, Naples was a bustling city filled with working-class citizens who needed affordable and quick meals. Pizza became popular among these locals because it provided a satisfying and inexpensive option. Street vendors known as “pizzaioli” would sell these delicious creations from their carts. The true turning point for pizza came in 1889 when Queen Margherita of Italy visited Naples and requested to try this local specialty. A pizzaiolo named Raffaele Esposito had the honor of making Her Majesty’s pizza and decided to create one using ingredients representing the colors of the Italian flag – red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil leaves. This simple yet iconic creation soon became known as “Pizza Margherita,” forever changing the course of pizza history. From there, Neapolitan-style pizza spread throughout Italy and eventually made its way around the world thanks to immigrants bringing their culinary traditions with them. Today, traditional Italian pizzas are still made following time-honored techniques passed down through generations. They feature thin crusts that are crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, topped with flavorful tomato sauce made from San Marzano tomatoes grown near Mount Vesuvius, high-quality mozzarella cheese or other classic toppings like fresh basil leaves or pepperoni. With its storied past and enduring popularity worldwide, traditional Italian pizza remains a beloved culinary treasure enjoyed by people young and old alike. It is an art form that has stood the test of time while continuously evolving with new flavors but always staying true to its roots rooted deep in Italian culture. Testimonial: “As an avid foodie and pizza enthusiast, I can honestly say that using traditional Italian dough has taken my homemade pizzas to another level.
