Pizza with pizzaz!!

We like our pizzas. And somehow the delivered out-of-box pizzas were not hitting the spot, when we decided to make our own. (Thanks to Mum..she used to bake pizzas, complete with the homemade base way back when we were kids, when pizza was not even a popular term). Partly because I am slightly lazy, and partly because nowadays pizza bases are commonly available in the super markets today, I just made the toppings, on an already- baked market pizza base.

These are super easy to assemble, especially if you are not making your own tomato salsa/sauce (depends very much on the time in hand). Ashrut likes the mountain-pile pizzas, as you can make out from the pics - here we have used mozzarella/cheddar cheese, green olives with pimento, buttonmushrooms, onion slices, capsicum & tomato squares. Other times, we have also used bits of chicken sausages. Drizzle with EV olive oil, some oregano mix and chilli flakes, and bake it in a pre-heated oven for 10 odd minutes, or till the cheese melts/starts bubbling.
There - you are done. A perfect snack for those lazy weekend evenings:)
Very soon, will be trying to make my own pizza base - will post that too. The market ones are firstly small in size - not okay for a meal, and secondly, and most importantly, are fluffy like a big bun!!
