Answer 1

The Italians have been given credit for pizza.

The pizza could have been invented by the Phoenicians, the Greeks, Romans, or anyone who learned the secret of mixing flour with water and heating it on a hot stone.

In one of its many forms, pizza has been a basic part of the Italian diet since the Stone Age. This earliest form of pizza was a crude bread that was baked beneath the stones of the fire. After cooking, it was seasoned with a variety of different toppings and used instead of plates and utensils to sop up broth or gravies. It is said that the idea of using bread as a plate came from the Greeks who ate flat round bread (plankuntos) baked with an assortment of toppings. It was eaten by the working man and his family because it was a thrifty and convenient food.

Answer 2

Everyone says Italy, but it is much more complicated than that simple answer. Flat bread has been used since ancient times to act as a plate for food and was topped with meat, drippings and the like.

First, the word "pizza" showed up between Rome and Naples a little over 1,000 years ago and it's meaning is "pie." This, however was not the pizza we know today.

It was not until 1692 when Italy came up with tomato sauce, but still no recognizable pizza. The first person to slap together bread, tomato sauce, and cheese remains unknown.

Although Italian immigrants brought pizza to the US, the modern pizza, the one that took the US by storm, was first introduced in that country in the 1950s. It is not just bread, tomato sauce, and cheese, but also is topped by your choice of a variety of ingredients from olives to anchovies and everything in between.

The answer is that the old pizza came from Italy, but it was th US that turned it into an international favorite.

Addition: Tomato sauce was not possible without the tomato and that was a New World plant found in the Americas. Europe and Asia knew nothing of tomatoes until the discovery of America and some brought back to Europe.

Answer 3

italian woman used to make bread together, at a local oven this was before all homes had the convenience of stoves. anyway it is told that these italian woman would have there kids and baby's with them at these local bread ovens and they would take some dough and put cheese on them, cook them and feed them to there kids as a snack... thus pizza was born mostly ....sauce came later. and then meats and toppings.

Source: The Pizza Book: Everything There Is To Know About the World's Greatest Pie by Evelyne Slomon
Servings: 6

FOR THE CRUST:
1 cup warm tap water (110-115 degrees f)
1 pkg active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups flour, divided use
1/2 cup coarse ground cornmeal
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
FOR THE FILLING:
1 lb sausage, removed from the casing and crumbled
1 lb mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely crushed
3 tsp dried oregano (or 5 fresh basil leaves, shredded
4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan

TO PREPARE THE CRUST:
Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and dissolve the yeast with a fork. Add 1 cup of flour, all of the cornmeal, salt, and, and vegetable oil. Mix well with a spoon. Continue stirring in the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.

Flour your hands and the work surface and knead the ball of dough until it is no longer sticky.

Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl, sealed with plastic wrap, for 45 to 60 minutes in a warm place, until it is doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down and knead it briefly. Press it into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pizza pan, until it comes 2 inches up the sides and is even on the bottom of the pan. Let the dough rise 15-20 minutes before filling.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

TO PREPARE THE FILLING:
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling ingredients. Cook the crumbled sausage until it is no longer pink, drain it of its excess fat; set aside.

TO ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:
When the dough has finished its second rising, lay the mozzarella cheese over the dough shell. Then distribute the sausage and garlic over the cheese. Top with the tomatoes. Sprinkle on the seasonings and parmesan cheese.

Bake for 15 minutes at 500 degrees.

Then lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 25 to 35 minutes longer. Lift up a section of the crust from time to time with a spatula to check on its color. The crust will be golden brown when done. Serve immediately.

Answer 6

You trudge through the cafeteria line, not quite sure what dubious culinary delight will await you further down. The smells that saunter toward your nose are varied and difficult to dissect. Then suddenly you get a peek. Oh joy, it’s pizza! But wait! Where exactly did it come from? No, don’t try to look through the kitchen doors. Let’s peer into the depths of history to see where pizza was born.

The origin of pizza is a long and winding trail, and in order to simplify it, we will look at it like a family tree. Where do you think pizza was born - Italy? Well, you are only half right. The great-grandparent of pizza is the flat bread, and that can be traced back to the Stone Age. This great-grandparent made its happy way all through the ancient world.

Then a version of this flat bread, pizza’s grandparent, was born. We can’t be exactly sure where in the Mediterranean it began, but we do know it traveled through Babylonia, Greece, and Italy. Sometimes called focaccia, it is flat bread jazzed up with spices, herbs, oils, cheese, and other regional, readily available items.

Pizza’s parent was born when some daredevil, suicidal maniac or just one desperately hungry dude, in the mid-1700s, decided to add a tomato. You laugh, but when the tomato plant was imported from the New World, people thought it was poisonous. Once they got over their poisoning fear, pizza took on a whole new look and dimension. Even though pizza’s parent was still considered peasant food, it became fit for both royalty and the common folk. In fact, in the late 1800s, a very special pizza, called the Margherita, was created for Italy’s king and queen and is still an Italian pizza classic.

The pizza sitting on your plate came from Italian immigrants and was made popular by WWII soldiers, who couldn’t forget that particular taste of Italy. Today you can find pizza’s cousins all over the United States (and the world) - deep dish in Chicago, thin crust in New York, and more!

Now that you know more about one of your favorite foods, go mark February 9th on your calendar. It’s International Pizza Pie day!

Fun Facts:

-According to the Guinness World Records, the largest pizza ever baked was one measuring 37.4 m (122 ft 8 in) in diameter, made at Norwood Hypermarket, Norwood, South Africa on December 8, 1990. The Norwood pizza's diameter was 3.5 m (11.5 ft) larger than the previous world record set by Pizza Hut, Singapore, in June, 1990. The ingredients included 4,500 kg (9920 lb) of flour, 90 kg (198 lb) of salt, 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) of cheese, and 900 kg (1,984 lb) of tomato puree.

Authentic Italian White Pizza
Recipe Courtesy of: America's Favorite Food
Web Site: http://www.AmericasFavoriteFood.com


4 3/4 - Cups white flour
2 - Cups warm water; 105° F.
3 - Teaspoons dry yeast
1 - Teaspoon salt
1 - Tablespoon olive oil
Olive Oil
Kosher salt
Dried Rosemary

Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add yeast/water mixture to 3 cups of the
flour. Mix, adding regular salt and olive oil a little at a time. Add the rest
of the flour bit by bit until the dough "feels right".

Turn dough onto a floured board and knead; adding more flour if necessary
to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Put the dough in a
greased bowl and rotate to distribute the grease all over the dough. Let
rise until about double in size (approx. 2 hours).

Remove the dough, punch down and roll out on the floured board to a
thickness of 3/8 to 1/2 inch (make it any shape you desire). Put dough in
a pan or cookie sheet. With a pastry brush, paint liberally with
additional olive oil. Use your thumb and 2 fingers to make dimples over
the entire surface. Sprinkle the Kosher sea salt and rosemary over the
surface of the dough. Let rise a little more.

Bake at 375° F for about 25 minutes. When done, paint liberally
again with olive oil.

Answer 7

The Chinese invented it. The story is that Marco Polo, the explorer, brought it back to Italy after trying it in China.

This question was already asked. Type in in search for questions next time before you ask.

Answer 8

Dude, Italy!!!!
And I believe the first pizzas were made in Naples, which is a port in Italy.

Answer 9

From the land of Pisa, where the leaning tower is located.

I don't think it has a nationality as Marco Polo tried to locate it in China when he was exploring the world.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
