PIZZA (wheat base)

Pizza is an Italian dish which is popular across the world. Basically pizza is a combination of leavened flat bread with sauce, cheese and various toppings and baked in a wood – fired oven. Pizzas are usually round and served unsliced in restaurants and eaten with use of fork and knife but however cutting into wedges and eating with hand is more popular.
