Pizza Recipe
Although pizza is accepted as a dinner all over the world, since almost all of the ingredients used in us are breakfast ingredients, pizza is also made for breakfast as a mother's specialty. It was too late for me to learn this, as a matter of fact. After I started blogging, I saw in the comments I received that pizza is seen as breakfast by some. I admit that I was strange at first, and I'm sure it seems strange to many of you right now. But when you stop and think about it, one says why not. Bread, cheese, sausage, olives, etc. We already enjoy it for breakfast. What's so weird about putting them all together and eating them for breakfast?
If you ask me, I prefer it for dinner, frankly. But I think it's purely out of habit. For example, if my mother had made pizza for breakfast when I was a kid, I would probably have grown up thinking that pizza was some kind of breakfast food. So what did my mother put in front of me? Sour pepper. That's why the king breakfast for me is eksimikli biber, tomatoes and bread.
Maybe you've seen photos of traditional breakfasts from various countries of the world that are circulating on Facebook from time to time. Some of them have seafood, some of them dried beans, some of them ravioli... At first sight, one says thank God I was born in Turkey, but they probably think the same thing when they see our breakfasts. In short, what you do all the time is normal, what you see is always abnormal, this is very natural. But when you think about it, it becomes clear that the situation is not that dire, it is only necessary to keep common sense while thinking.
