Pizza Topping Counter

Tomatoes! The tomato was an item of speculation and mystery up until the 16th Century. In fact, many Europeans thought the tomato to be poisonous. Poor citizens in the ghettos of Naples began adding tomatoes to their flatbreads in the mid 16th Century, sparking the birth of modern pizza.As a general, often-broken rule of thumb, I recommend choosing three to five toppings for each pizza you create. In my style of pizzas, mozzarella doesn't count as a topping; it goes on every pizza. Other cheeses like goat cheese, feta, or smoked gouda are accent cheeses that count as toppings.
