Pizza – a word that brings water in my mouth. I was always being curious to have Pizza on weekly basis. Like me, others will also be keen to have Pizza party. But Pizza is not necessarily been affordable all the time for all the people. In fact, outside Pizzas are not so hygienic or healthy. Statistics report also reveals – too much consumption of Pizza may result in obesity, sleeping problems, body fat, high calories etc.
Being the combination of Vegetables and bake roti, it is healthy if it is made at home with additional nutrients. To have Pizza, one must have Pizza base, all veggies, Pizza sauce, cream, cheese, Pizza spices and herbs etc. to give an original taste. But it is not necessarily to be available at home always. And the other most important thing, one must have sufficient time as well.
Now, we will try a simple and less time consuming method of making Bread Pizza for your breakfast or heavy hunger as well. One always have bread, onion, tomato, capsicum, milk cream, tomato sauce, salt, black pepper powder, desi ghee etc.
Method:
First collect the simple veggies you are having at your home like onion, tomato, capsicum etc. Chopped all the vegetables finely. You can give any shape to design your Pizza as well.
