My kingdom for a pizza

My favorite food is pizza.

This wonderful food consists of a flat dough covered with a base of cheese and tomato sauce. Various ingredients can be placed on this base, such as tomato slices, olives, ham, pepperoni or exotic ingredients, such as pineapple chunks. Personally, I like pizza with pulled pork, meatballs, red onions and barbecue sauce.

The ingredients and preparation of a pizza can be summarized as follows:

You have to make a wheat flour dough, which is flattened and given a generally rounded shape, although you can also give it a long rectangular shape (actually the shape and size is up to you). This flattened dough should be covered with tomato sauce, cheese and the ingredients and condiments you want. Finally, the coated dough is heated in an oven until the dough is baked and the cheese is melted.

The things I like most about pizza are: the cheese, and that it can be prepared with the weirdest combination of ingredients you can think of. Regarding the dough, I prefer thin and crispy doughs. 

Despite being, in terms of taste, one of the most exquisite foods in the world, it should not be forgotten that it is made with many hypercaloric ingredients and with high levels of salt and carbohydrates. Excessive consumption of pizza (and other junk foods)  has a negative impact on health due to its high percentage of calories, sodium and carbohydrates that can cause health problems such as diabetes, hypertension and arteriosclerosis. This does not mean that you should stop eating pizza. You can enjoy a tasty pizza (or your favorite junk food) but consume it only occasionally and never daily.
