Pizza Tools
When making Romeu e Julieta Pizza, I always recommend that you use what you have available, without spending lots of money. My basic pizza tool list is…
Dough Proofing Box
If you make a lot of dough through the year, you’ll find owning a pizza dough proofing box very useful.
Glass Measuring Jug
I hate taking chances with portions, so having a quality glass jug with clear to read measurements a vital kitchen tool for me.
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!
Guava Marmalade
If you’re looking for a topping that will add an extra bit of sweetness to your pizza, why not try guava marmalade? This tropical fruit is used in various dishes throughout the world, and it adds just enough tartness and sweetness to make any pizza special.
Guavas are packed full of antioxidants, vitamins A & C, as well as dietary fiber which can help keep you feeling full longer. The marmalade itself is made by boiling down the juice of guavas until it thickens into a spreadable consistency.
