Pizza Science: The Art of Making Pizza
What do you already know about pizza and how it is made?
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson you will know the process of making pizza, understand its main ingredients, and be able to explain the key steps in pizza preparation.
Where Did Pizza Come From?
Pizza started in Italy over 200 years ago. It became popular across the world for its flavour and versatility.
Making the Dough
The dough is made from flour, water, yeast, salt, and a small amount of oil. It needs to be mixed and left to rise until soft and stretchy.
Adding the Toppings
Typical toppings are tomato sauce, cheese, and your choice of meats or vegetables. The sauce is spread first, followed by cheese and toppings.
Baking the Pizza
Bake the pizza in a very hot oven—around 220°C. Baking makes the crust crispy and melts the cheese.
Types of Pizza
There are many types like Margherita, Pepperoni, and Vegetarian. Each pizza can be personalised with different toppings.
