Make best vegetable pizza recipe

 


 

 

About the recipe  

This is a tried and tested vegetarian pizza recipe and if everything is followed correctly, you will be able to make great pizzas with a choice of your toppings for your family and friends.

The vegetarian pizza beat all the pizzas i had in Indian metros like the domino's pizza, smokin joes and even pizza hut.

There was a time when i used to make pizzas at home with ready made pizza breads. but after making breads at home and finding out they are far far better than the outside ones, i make even the pizza base at home now.

This recipe of homemade vegetable pizza is a pizza recipe made from scratch. except the cheese, no ready made sauces or pizza bread bases are used. this is a basic veg pizza. I have used onion and capsicum as the only veggies. you can use your own assorted veggies for the pizza.

For the flavorings of the sauce i have used dried oregano and basil. however you can use fresh oregano and basil too. I have made many pizza sauces right from my teen years, but this was the best sauce i have made. It has become a personal favorite.
