Oven baked home made 'Pittsa

Pizza is an oven-baked, flat, round bread typically topped with a tomato, cheese, olives, veggies and various toppings. 
Well this home made pizza is all time favorite for everyone in our family. Usually we made veg pizza, but last Sunday my husband suggest to give an extra topping of chicken Salami which of course increase its taste. This is not mine but my husband's recipe. Now a days we made it together.  

Lets start with the ingredients :

  • Pizza Base and Topping  [available in market]  
  • Onion  [cut into thick strips]
  • Tomato, Capsicum [cut into thick strips]
  • Garlic
  • Chicken Salami [optional for veg] Mushroom can be used instead of chicken for veg 
  • Low fat Cheese cubes [grated]
  • Fresh Coriander 
  • Black pepper and salt 



  • Spoon the pizza topping into the pizza base. Topped it with onion, vegetables ,chicken, mushroom and garlic. Finally sprinkle the grated cheese and fresh coriander.



  • Pre heat the oven in 600 Degree [medium] for 8 mins. Then grease the oven pan with little oil and put the pizza into the pan. Set the micro-oven temperature in 600 [medium] for 8 mins. When done, leave the pizza there for 1-2 mins. 



  • When come out from the oven, keep it in a seperate tray, sprinkle black pepper and salt [as per taste]. And cut into 4 or 6 pieces and serve immediately

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, pizza is one of America’s favorite foods and eating cheese is a good way of getting calcium and protein. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases puts pizza on its list of calcium sources. The USDA also states studies have shown that the consumption of tomatoes may lessen your chance of getting cancer because tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene. A prostate cancer study showed a drop in prostate cancer risk when the amount of lycopene in the blood was elevated. Studies have also shown that when you eat tomatoes, you may be able to lessen your risk of developing heart disease, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer and lung cancer.
