The Pizza

This pizza recipe is a savior when it comes to quick and easy recipes which are both filling and yummy. So, its particularly a favorite for bachelors because of the ease with which it can be made and also among children because of the yummy taste it gives. Plus the added factor that it can be loaded with a lot of wholesome, healthy and colorful veggies of choice makes it a favorite among the mothers as well :) . I particularly love to make this recipe on weekends, like friday nights for dinner when I am tired and exhausted by the whole week's hectic schedule and also I have different veggies left in small quantities in my freeze from over the whole week. This is a golden recipe to utilize all those veggies!
I used a ready made pizza base for this pizza, if you have time, you can go ahead and prepare the pizza base on your own. I also used some cooked soya from the morning recipe which was left over in the freeze. I used some basic pizza topping ingredients which were available in my freeze, however, you can experiment with a lot of other toppings like mushroom, bell peppers of different color, corn, cottage cheese, jalapeno, olive etc.
So, here goes the recipe of my pizza :-
(Preparation time for each pizza is about 5 minutes, preparation time for the sauce is 10 minutes)

Ingredients:

1. For pizza base sauce :

• Tangy tomato sauce recipe from my previous post.

2. For pizza base:

• 4 small ready-made pizza base or 2 medium ready-made pizza base

3. For topping: 

• soya nuggets 
• capsicum cut in very thin slices
• onion cut in very thin slices
• sweet corn (Ready to use)
• Add any other topping of your choice like jalapeno, pineapple, mushrooms, bell peppers, cottage cheese, olives etc.
• 2 teaspoons chilli flakes
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 1 cup shredded pizza cheese 

Method:

Divide the topping ingredients into 4 equal proportions if you are using 4 pizza bases, else divide them into 2 equal proportions if you are using 2 medium pizza bases. 

For making each pizza, repeat the following steps:

• Put the pizza base into the microwave oven (at 450WT, microwave mode) over a grill for 1 minute, this will heat up the pizza base a bit.
• Take it out, spread one layer of tomato pizza sauce on the pizza.
• Spread 1/8 cup of cheese on the pizza base (in case you are using 4 small pizza bases) or 1/4 cup of cheese (in case you are using 2 medium pizza bases)
• On top of the cheese, spread one portion of the vegetable toppings on the pizza.
• Sprinkle another layer of cheese on top of the vegetable toppings in the same proportion as done before.
• Place this pizza back into the oven at the same temperature setting as earlier , but for 4-5 minutes (or until you see the cheese melted and settled well on the pizza)
• Take it out, sprinkle the chilli flakes and oregano on top of it
• Cut the pizza into equal proportions and serve immediately.

More time can be saved if you have a manual or electric chopper or a food processor wherein you can get your veggies chopped to fine pieces in a jiffy. Otherwise, you can also keep them cut in a day or so in advance in an airtight container in the freeze.
