Pizza is a delicious food all around the world, but did you know that it can be quite different depending on where you go? That’s because the ingredients, cooking methods, and pizza-making traditions vary greatly from place to place. For example, in Italy, pizza is typically made with simple and high-quality ingredients such as fresh mozzarella and tomatoes, and cooked in a wood-fired oven, which gives it its characteristic soft and chewy crust.

In contrast, in America, pizza is often loaded with toppings and cooked in a gas oven, resulting in a much crispier crust. Even within the same country, you can find different regional variations. For example, in New York, you will find the classic thin-crust pizza, while in Chicago, you will find a deep-dish pizza with a thick crust.

The unique characteristics of pizza in different places make it a fascinating food to explore and try.

Pizza in Thailand

About Onion

Ancient Egyptians saw onions as a symbol of eternal life because of the circular layers. Farmed and eaten for at least 5,000 years, Onions have been used as medicine, food and even helped in Egyptian mummification.
The three most common onion colors are white, red and yellow. Onions are easy to grow, store and are cheap and full of flavour, making them very popular across the world. China consumes nearly 25% of the world’s onions every year.

Pizza Tools

When making Italian Sausage Pizza, I always recommend that you use what you have already, and avoid spending a ton of money. My recommended basic pizza tool list is…

Chef Apron

OK, not really pizza related, but a good chef apron makes me feel the part when I am making my pizzas. I’d probably wear a chef hat if I got one too!

Pastry Brush

A pastry brush is vital if you need to ever coat your dough in water, oil, eggs or more. They are cheap to have and very handy to use.

Italian Sausage

Italian sausage is made with a combination of pork, fennel, garlic, and a variety of other spices. Not only does Italian sausage bring an element of savory flavor to pizzas, but it also can add a bit of spice depending on the type you choose.

When selecting Italian sausage for your next pizza topping, consider what kind you want to use. Mild Italian sausages are usually more subtle in flavor and pair nicely with sweeter ingredients like pineapple or onions.
