Einkorn wheat from Tuscany, sold br Jovialfoods is fantasic! It is an ancient version of wheat, lower gluten, high protein, it is organic so no glyphosate
Yes, einkorn is good. If you want the wholesome whole wheat texture and flavor, it’s a good choice. If you want soft white flour for baking, and can find 00 flour from Italy, it’s awesome too. Depends on what you are making. 00 soft white flour from Italy can often be digested when our white “enriched” (gak) somewhat genetically modified horrible flour is causing more and more Americans serious health problems.
If you can’t find enough 00 flour here, look for sacks of organic white flour and read the ingredients. Look for close to 0% iron. That means you will be getting a purer hard wheat flour with less pesticides and no adulteration with iron filings etc. Amazingly, you can find plain organic unenriched flour at a lot of grocery stores. Far easier to digest than the regular enriched American flour.
Any day I have pizza for breakfast, I have more energy and it lasts longer. How anyone could think it’s not a healthy meal, is beyond me. Doesn’t matter what’s on it — veggies, pineapple, onions, olives, or just cheese — it’s ALL good.
It has ALL the basic food groups!
Bacon, ham, cheese and sausage!.....................
Interesting....sausage like Italian sausage here? Prosciutto di Parma is expensive (and was once illegal to import); I’d save it for melon balls. Anchovies...when I was younger my favorite toppings were onions & anchovies; people would leave the room when I mentioned that.
And not too much mozzarella, I imagine. How about pecorino?
But the magic is the crust. Has anyone posted here the right kind of flour for a Neapolitan pizza?
As for fruit on pizza? No way. That’s like these fruit flavored salad dressings.
RE French beach: Photos or it never happened. lol
I didn’t get to do that kind of “sightseeing” in Europe, but upon returning I was riding my bike and came upon two young lasses sans tops at a small beach near Bellingham, WA. They actually asked me to join them but being bashful I continued on my way (mistake?).
The Italian pizza didn’t meet my expectations but was edible. I had even worse trouble with the food in Greece. Would be the same story today. But I would sit and chat with the girls in Bellingham now.
My pizza in Naples only had mozzarella and tomato sliced real thin. It was simple, but delicious.
Pretty sure they use a different type of flour for their dough.
Heh heh. I have a very funny story about those pictures. Maybe better for freepmail.
