Most people have had red pizza, or pizza covered with red sauce, but have you ever had white pizza?  White pizza is made in almost the same way as red pizza: the dough rises and is rolled out, toppings are applied, and it is cooked in an oven—but the key difference is that white pizza does not have any tomato sauce on it.  Instead, a white pizza may have olive oil or no sauce at all.  I like white pizza more than red pizza because you can really taste the ingredients.  Adding some fresh tomatoes to a white pizza will give it that tomato flavor without the completely overwhelming taste of the red sauce that covers most pizzas.  If you have not had a white pizza, I recommend that you order or make one today.

You’d think that making a frozen pizza would be as easy as rolling out some dough, dropping some ingredients on it, and freezing it, but it’s actually a lot more complicated than that.  Some of the challenges in creating a good frozen pizza include the sauce combining with the dough and the crust becoming rigid after it is frozen and reheated.  To prevent the sauce from combining with the crust, you can use a layer of modified cornstarch as a moisture barrier between the sauce and the crust.  This will prevent the crust from absorbing the sauce.  Additionally, partially baking the dough and other ingredients will keep the dough from becoming too rigid after it is frozen and reheated.  On second thought, you’re probably better off not trying this at home.

Money has changed over time. First, people used to trade or barter when they wanted something. Then, people began using items to act like currency. For example, the ancient Mayans used to use chocolate as money. Next, people created coins to be used as money. This made currency more standard, but it weighed a lot. Later, paper money was used. Today many people pay for things with a credit card. What's the text structure?
