Bread Pizza

Scrumptious Pizza for a hungry evening - and it is healthy too!!. I love making this pizza often as it can be whipped up in a jiffy with basic ingredients and I try and use whole wheat or brown bread which is much healthier than the normal maida base.

Bread Pizza



Ingredients:

4 - 5 Slices of wholewheat or brown bread (you can use normal bread as well)
1 large onion - chopped
1 large tomato - chopped
1 Capsicum - chopped
1 clove of garlic
1 green chilly - finely chopped
a dab of butter
1 cube of cheese (mozzarella is the best. but cheddar works fine too)
a pinch of oregano
3 tbsp Tomato ketchup
2 tbsp Cheese Spread (optional)

1. Spread the butter on one side of the bread slice. Top with a dash of the cheese spread. Dab the tomato sauce and spread it till the edges of the slice2. Sprinkle the finely chopped garlic and chillies (you can avoid the garlic if you are not a fan of it!). 3. Sprinkle (or arrange) the onion, tomato and capsicum. 4. Grate the cheese over the arranged veggies and sprinkle some oregano on top.

Microwave : If you are using the microwave, then you can zap it for about 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread slice becomes slightly crisp. The time can vary depending on the type and quality of the bread used.

Stove top: Place a tava on the stove. Add a dash of butter. Place the loaded bread slice and cover with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt and remove from the tava.

Serve hot with chilly flakes and tomato sauce.

If you are in the mood, you can use a cookie cutter to cut out the bread slices into small circles and then top it with the ingredients for a pie shaped pizza. This makes for lovely party snacks as well. For the exotic touch, add corn, boiled potato cubes, paneer tikka or even jalapenos!.
