Mozzarella is a southern Italian cheese traditionally made from Italian buffalo milk by the pasta filata method.

Mozzarella received a Traditional Specialities Guaranteed certification from the European Union in 1998.

This protection scheme requires that mozzarella sold in the European Union is produced according to a traditional recipe.

The TSG certification does not specify the source of the milk, so any type of milk can be used.

In Italy mozzarella made with the milk of the Italian water buffalo is an important variety.

The Italian buffalo mozzarella sold as Mozzarella di Bufala Campana is protected under the EU's Protected Designation of Origin scheme and may only be produced in select locations in the regions of Campania, Lazio, Apulia and Molise.

Pizza is a yeasted flatbread generally topped with tomato sauce and cheese and baked in an oven.

It is commonly topped with a selection of meats, vegetables and condiments.

The term was first recorded in the 10th century, in a Latin manuscript from Gaeta in Central Italy.

The modern pizza was invented in Naples, Italy, and the dish and its variants have since become popular and common in many areas of the world.

Dough is a thick, malleable, sometimes elastic, paste made out of any grains, leguminous or chestnut crops.

Dough is typically made by mixing flour with a small amount of water and/or other liquid, and sometimes includes yeast or other leavening agents as well as other ingredients such as various fats or flavorings.

Baking is a method of cooking food that uses prolonged dry heat, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones.

The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked.

Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their centre.

As heat travels through it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm dry crust and a softer centre".

Baking can be combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods simultaneously, or one after the other.

Baking is related to barbecuing because the concept of the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit.
