Topic A: 

Italian cuisine is popular all over the world, but one dish is especially well-known. It consists of a flat round bread base with cheese, tomatoes, vegetables, meat, etc. on top. Can you make a guess? Yes, Pizza! And it is my favourite food.

The word Pizza comes from Italian and it literally means "pie". Making it is easy thanks to its simple recipe and basic ingredients.

The original pizza comes from Naples in the Campania region of Italy.

The traditional recipe says that to make the dough you have to use wheat flour, yeast, water and season with some salt. Don't use any other ingredients or additives.

So, when the dough is ready, it's time to make a sauce. First, you have to chop onion and fry it in olive oil, then add good-quality tomatoes and some salt.

When the sauce is cooled, you carefully have to put some on the bread base. Then add the mozzarella, a cheese from southern Italy.

Once you have followed these simple steps, the pizza is ready to go into the hot oven. It stays there for about ten minutes until the base is golden brown. Once it's baked, add a few basil leaves on top, and there you are, the perfect pizza! This is the traditional pizza Marguerita, the original pizza.

There is no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza in front of you. You can make many different kinds. There's pizza Romana, with olives and artichokes, or pizza al funghi, with mushroom and garlic, you can even do one at your choice, just choose how many toppings and how much cheese you want.

I love pizza because you can serve it on many occasions, and because it smells and tastes delicious. I celebrate with pizza all the time.

Even though this might be the reason for my muffin top and double chin... a pizza lover will always be a pizza lover. 

Anyways, don't eat pizza alone or in excess because it can cause serious harm to your health. Eat it on special occasions with friends or your family and you will enjoy it much better.
