The emergency covid, let's face it, it has turned us all into pastry chefs, bakers and pizza makers! Quarantine and isolation have completely reset our habits and even the shopping cart has been affected; in the first weeks of lockdown people made mega stocks of pasta, rice, canned products and preserves and then gave way to "tradition", with the purchase of yeast and flour to make homemade bread, cakes and pizza.
Today we see together 5 recipes originals to make the homemade pizza, but in a light version!
