About Avocado
Avocado, also known as alligator pears or Butter fruit, were first domesticated by Mesoamerican tribes more than 5,000 years ago. They are native to the Western Hemisphere and are widely grown in warm climates.
Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat and vitamin E, and are a good source of folate. Avocado also supplies more soluble fibre than other fruit on the market.
Pizza Tools
When making Avocado Pizza, I always recommend that you use what you have available, without spending lots of money. My basic pizza tool list is…
Pizza Steel
A pizza steel is very similar to a pizza stone, and works the same way in a normal kitchen oven.
Dough Mixer
OK, so this isn’t vital, but if you make enough pizza, breads, etc it is worth investing in a good mixer for your dough.
Mesh Sieve
You will find having a seive such a useful element for all your baking, not just for pizza. It’s great to filter all flours through a fine mesh sieve before adding to recipes.
Lime Juice
Lime Juice is ideal for seafood, pizza, curries, marinating and drinks. It can be easily made at home, or purchased as a bottle.
Lime Juice is very similar to Lemon Juice, nutritionally, and they also share many of the same potential health benefits. Both Lime and Lemon Juices are acidic and sour, however lemons tend to be sweeter, while limes have a more bitter flavor.
