Home made Pizza

March 15th, 2010
I made some pizza today for dinner. Here is the recipe…

Ingredients:

  • Pizza base (ready made)
  • Tomato
  • Onion
  • Capsicum
  • Cheese
  • Mushroom
  • Veg kebabs (This time I had bought some ready to fry Veg Kebabs from the local store)
  • Italian seasoning
  • a little olive oil
  • Salt
  • Oh yeh.. and don’t forget the Garlic
  • Any other sauces you might want to add to the pizza topping

Okay so to make it, all you need is to follow these simple steps

  1. Chop the onions, tomato & garlic into small pieces
  2. Chop the capsicum into fine pieces
  3. Chop the mushrooms and saute in a little olive oil, just to make them a little tender
  4. Heat some olive oil in a pan, saute the garlic
  5. Add the onions and saute till transparent
  6. Add the tomato and cook the mixture till they soften to form a paste like consistency
  7. Add the Italian herbs to this mixture and cook for some more time
  8. Add some salt as per taste
  9. Once this is done, take the base and make little incision on the base, so a little of the sauce enters the base.
  10. Spread the sauce evenly onto the base
  11. If you like, you can add some finely chopped raw onion on top
  12. Add the finely chopped capsicum onto it
  13. Add a few sliced mushrooms on top of it
  14. Top the pizza off with lot cheese

Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees Centigrade and bake the pizza for about 6 mins.

Voila… after 6 – 7 mins, you have some delicious home made pizza!!

You can cut the Veg Kebab and also put it on top of the pizza as a topping, like I did.

Sorry no pictures this time… was too hungry.. made it & shared it with mom. :)
