         On the other hand, Pizza prevents Cancer! Yes, it is very interesting. But, many experts and scientists support this idea. Actually, many foods in Mediterranean Cuisine (Mediterranean Diet) likely offer a perfect protection of the organism for the humanbeings and offer a good and longevous life. Forexample; The people of the Golkoy/Gölköy town in Ordu city of Turkey, the people of Cilento and Acciardi towns in Italy and the people of Caucasus Mountains town of southern Russia have long been famous for attaining extremely old ages (longevous life). According to data of goverments; 70 percent of all people reaching 85 to 110 years or more live in these regions. People of these regions have a slow, regular and rhythmic life style (The outdoor work and their regions provide a good deal of exercise for them). There is also continuity in diet (Mediterranean foods). Yes they consume mostly organic Mediterranean foods. People of these regions very much enjoy their traditional foods and beverages and have no inclination to change it. They have eaten the same meat, grains, vegetables, and fruits from childhood to old age. Anthropologist feel that while exercise and traditional diet contribute to longevity, the rhythmic lifestyle is more important. Many experts, scientists and Antropologists concluded that it is not the Mediterranean diet/traditional food itself that is the secret for long life, although it does contribute. The real secret or miracle is the continuity in diet from birth to death. The consistent,  Unchanged foods (diet) and regular meals, beverages (dietary) rhythm allow the body and its digestive system to become entirely adjusted.

         Pizza is one of the most famous Italyan food around the world. We like Turkish style Pizza very much. We mostly prefer ours pizza, not Italian style one or Chinese style one. Because we have consumed it since we were children. Bye the way, regular Pizza Eaters are very lucky,  because pizzas are considered very protective against the cancer (cancer of the oesophagus, cancer of throat, cancer of colon etc). But, we think that homemade pizza eaters are very lucky. Because, you cant find these healty pizzas at the "Pizza delivery". Ok, some pizza shops (such as Pizza Hut, Dominos Pizza) try to make healthy pizza but homemade pizza is always better.

Plus; in Chine, many people do not like Turkish sausage, cheese or are lactose in tolerans, and tomatoes plants are not typically grown over there, so the their local pizza is served pizzas topped with soy sauce and chicken, corn, tuna fish, and crab. Plus; in Indian, many people prefer to very spicy pizza more than the Italian pizza, Chinese pizza or Turkish Pizza. As a result, today, pizza is the global meal or snack for the humanity.

Cooking process of pizza

Cooking process of pizza 

         Preparation:

       First of all, put your all ingredients on your work surface (work table). Firstly, we prepare the dough of pizza.

       Preparation of the Dough: Firstly, we need a large and deep bowl. In a large mixing bowl sift flour, and pour in the active dry yeast on the one side of bowl and the salt and sugar on the other side. Then pour your lukewarm water and add your lukewarm milk and yogurt (homemade yogurt is better: homemade-yogurt-recipe) and stir to combine well. Mix them by using a stand mixer or by your hands, knead the dough until it turns to smooth and elastic, it takes nearly for 10-12 minutes. Then place the dough in the mixing bowl and cover with a damp tea towel and leave for 1,5 - 2 hours at room temperature, until the dough has doubled in size. Take the dough and knead it for a while to take some of the air out. Then, split the dough two equal pieces.

        Preparation of the tomato sauce: Peel and finely chop the tomatoes and garlic, then, put all sauce ingredients: "Garlic, Extra virgin olive oil, Salt, Sugar, Tometoes paste, Red flakes Pepper, Ground Black Pepper, Cumin, Basil, Oregano" into a blender. Blend the sauce until smooth. 

         Cooking Process of Pizza: Firstly, flour a work surface and take a rolling pin, roll the dough until it is roughly the size of the baking tray (or pizza stone if you have one) you are using. Place the rolled out dough onto the baking tray and using your hands, work the dough until it fills the baking tray. Then brush the surface of dough with extra virgin olive oil and then spread a thin layer of pizza sauce mix over the dough. Then sprinkle the grated Pale yellow cheese and tinned sweetcorn on it, then in layers add Turkish sausage, tomateos, chopped onions (or shallots), sliced mushrooms, black and green olive (then -if you have-  followed by your topping choice). Cook the Pizza in Preheated oven at 200°C (nearly 392°F) for 20-25 minutes and then serve straight out of the oven.
