Homemade Pizza

Homemade Pizza.... Mmm do you think it is very difficult to make Pizza at home ? Then the answer is absolutely No. When i want to go out the entire fore noon but still want to have food at home then the first thing i remember is Pizza. It takes one to one and half hour for the flour to raise. So before leaving i make the dough and allow it to raise. As soon as i am back i start preparing the topping after switching on the oven. Baking it in a conventional oven makes it more tasty than in a microwave oven. The topping can be varied according to your convinience. The imagination is endless. You can prepare a varity of pizzas using the same procedure for base. You can add variety of cheese like mozzarella, parmesan and ricotta cheese to it. Here i have used only mozzarella cheese.
