How to store onions without sprouting them

How to store onions without sprouting them. Did you know that onions if stored well can last up to six months without sprouting? Follow our guidelines.

Onions in the pizzeria they are widely used, delicious focaccia with onions, but not only. The first suggestion is to not keep them in the refrigerator but in its own retina with which you bought them in a cool and ventilated place..

Preserve the onions perfectly

Another useful tip is not to leave the onions next to the potatoes in the pantry. Delicious onions release ethylene and moisture, then we will have potatoes that will sprout quickly.

If you really have to put them next to something, choose the garlic. The onions can rest very well next to the garlic.

Another good tip is to never freeze them whole. Always cut them into cubes before placing them in your freezer in a plastic food bag, whenever you need it, you can only take out the necessary.

The Pizza Baby in the Pizzeria

The Pizza Baby in the Pizzeria

The Pizza Baby in the Pizzeria. Baby pizza is not in pizzeria. This is the complaint received from a consumer association a few weeks ago.

It's true, there are very few pizzerias that churn out baby-sized pizzas in Italy. Almost all of them are located in the north of our beautiful country

Because you can't find pizza baby

Unfortunately, in southern Italy there is the discipline of Neapolitan pizza, a standard of weight of the balls is used which varies from 200 to 280 grams.

This is the reason why you cannot find a smaller sized pizza. But even in northern Italy it is not at all easy to find a baby pizza on the pizza menu.

The Pizza Baby in the Pizzeria

Until now this seems to have never been a problem, usually the father and mother cut a wedge which is usually enough for the baby, who seems to be more attracted to fries with ketchup or mayonnaise, or from a hamburger given the young age.

It is really difficult to be able to please all customers since everyone has their own tastes and habits.

Pizza and Figs Pizza with Pineapple Pizza With Pata Negra

Pizza and Figs Pizza with Pineapple Pizza With Pata Negra

Pizza and Figs Pizza with Pineapple Pizza With Pata Negra. Last night I attended a philosophical discussion of some pizza chefs, almost all disagree about the use of pineapple on pizza.

Not just pineapple, but the use of fruit in general as a topping for pizza. What this poor fruit will have done (pineapple) to attract all these negative judgments I just can't understand it.

Absolutely divergent opinions

At some point in the evening someone asked my opinion, after a short reflection I pointed out that exactly 50 Years ago, I said 50, do not 10 or twenty, fifty years ago when there were few pizzerias in Italy, and the pizza that was consumed was mainly that of the oven, I always ate focaccia with figs during the summer.

So we are talking about pizza and fruit. In other countries, pineapple focaccia was eaten, and also grilled meat accompanied with grilled pineapple, see Brazilian churrasco.

Pizza and Figs Pizza with Pineapple Pizza With Pata Negra

So we want to talk about who adds the Spanish Pata Negra ham? So we are facing an unfair or incorrect phenomenon, but something that satisfies our culinary curiosity.

Listen to me, there is nothing right or wrong about the type of ingredients that are usually added to pizza, but simply of different tastes.

pizza mozzarella

Mozzarella For Pizza

Mozzarella For Pizza. Let's start by listing the major differences between classic mozzarella and mozzarella which is used for the preparation of pizza.

The mozzarella used as a topping for pizza contains less fat than the classic table mozzarella. It has a quantity of fat that varies from 10 to the 15%, that's why it doesn't float on the pizza once it comes out of the oven

Difference between the various types of mozzarella

The classic table mozzarella has a fat content that reaches up to 20%, it should be eaten raw, therefore this increases the taste.

There is also a difference in color between the two types of mozzarella, the one for pizza tends to be more yellow than the fresh mozzarella from the table.

Mozzarella For Pizza

On the pizza is added a quantity of about 100 grams of mozzarella. Mozzarella for pizza contains less water and usually comes with its classic kilo loaf shape.

Mozzarella is used a lot during our practical courses to become pizza chefs. If you want more information about our courses click this link.

Pizza How Much Yeast to Put in Summer

Pizza How Much Yeast to Put in Summer

Pizza How Much Yeast to Put in Summer. Ugh, how hot it is in these days of midsummer. The thermometer never drops below 35 degrees, not even at night.

Trouble begins for those who prepare pizza at home, it is really difficult to control the dough, it takes very little, un po’ delay in preparation and it happens that the balls swell rapidly until they become acidic.

Check the dough with excessive heat

I remember that a few years ago I made a dough of 200 pizzas with approx 3 grams of yeast. And, just so, be careful to put very little yeast.

Pizza How Much Yeast to Put in Summer

How many grams? Never overdo it, add about one gram of yeast for every kilo of flour to the dough.

All these things, all these tricks are learned during the development of our "Professional Practical Courses" to become pizza chefs. All information about our courses at this link.

The best-selling dessert in the pizzeria

The best-selling dessert in the pizzeria

The best-selling dessert in the pizzeria. Until a few years ago, many pizzerias insisted on offering dessert pizzas to their customers, now this trend seems to be heading towards a certain sunset, not all customers are happy to eat another pizza for dessert, even if it could be very good.

The fact is that after a pizza, eating another one to end a dinner is an unlikely hypothesis. Can you imagine how many calories a pizza can have with an overflowing layer of Nutella spread on top.

How fashions change

Let's face it, everyone has experienced a dessert pizza at least once in their life, but now we are more oriented towards something smaller or perhaps lighter.

Following is the result of the "Consumers" report, the most requested dessert in a pizzeria is the old Tiramisu which never seems to set.
