PIZZA --Small restaurants called pizzerias feature the traditional Italian pizza. This is a circle of dough that may be covered with tomato sauce, melted cheese, mushrooms, anchories, or bits of meat or sausage and then baked.
pizza is a tasty meal because of microbes? Yeast, a type of fungus, is used to make the dough for crust. The cheese that melts atop the crust would not be as flavorful if bacteria were not added to the cheese as it is made. While some microbes, such as yeast and bacteria, are valued for what they add to food, other microbes are themselves eaten as a food. One example is a fungus that is used as a pizza topping--the mushroom. |
