Start the year with—what else?--pizza! The whole world loves pizza, and our Pure Flour from Europe is the perfect flour to use for pizza-making.

Here, we suggest an iconic Margherita pizza, but with a contemporary dough rather than the classic one: the contemporary Neapolitan pizza differs in the type of dough, proofing time and stretching method.
Topped with mozzarella or fior di latte cheese, tomatoes, and basil, the Margherita is a delicious tradition from the streets of Old Napoli, created for a Queen (Margherita) but to be savoured by all.

Waffles
Though waffles originated in Europe, probably Belgium, as a sweet treat eaten in markets, and fairs, (sometimes filled with whipped cream or ice cream), waffles are considered breakfast food in the USA. When they reached India, they were embraced as dessert, an exotic international alternative to more traditional sweet items such as barfi, gulab jamun or kulfi. In all major towns, waffles may be found in many restaurant dessert menus, as well as specialised waffle-places, or even food-trucks, and increasingly, in India, waffles are made at home, a treat for breakfast or weekend brunch. Legend has it that waffles, with their distinctive indentations, originated in the Middle Ages when a housewife left her cake on a bench to cool. Her knight in arms husband returned home unexpectedly, and sat on the bench to rest, not knowing there was a warm cake sitting on it. When he got up, he had left grid-like indentations on the cake, much like the way modern day waffles look from being made in a waffle iron. One may eat waffles topped with whatever you like: sweet waffles may be topped with soft fruit such as peaches, mangos, or berries, ice cream, chocolate bits or sauce, honey and butter, or why not pair berries with a drizzle of fragrant rose syrup? But waffles may also be savoury, with aromatics, bits of vegetables, and spices added to the batter, such as chopped onion, tomato, coriander leaves, and chili, then served with a bright, zesty chutney such as mint. Try the recipe below for a savoury version.
