Heart-shaped pizzette

A pizzetta (pl.: pizzette) is a small pizza[1] that can range in size from a finger food at around eight centimetres (3 in) in diameter[2][3] to that of a small personal-sized pizza.[4][5]

Preparation

[edit]

Pizzetta is typically prepared in the fashion of larger-sized pizza, using a dough, sauce, cheese and various toppings.[2][6] It is sometimes prepared without a sauce. Pizzetta can be prepared using flatbread as a bread base,[7] but puff pastry is also used. Additional herbs and greens can be added after pizzetta has been cooked.[4]

Service

[edit]

Pizzetta can be served as an hors d'oeuvre, a snack food and as a light meal.[5][8][9] It may be served accompanied with wine to complement the dish.[5][10]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
