Notes

Veggie Options: You can add your choice of veggies. Steamed corn kernels or sautéed mushrooms or sautéed spinach can also be added.
Herbs: You can even add fresh basil leaves instead of dried basil. You can also add your choice of herbs. You can even use pizza seasoning instead of adding dried herbs separately.
Heating: Do use a heavy tawa or pan. If you use a tawa or skillet which is not heavy, then the bread can get burnt from bottom.
Sauces: For the base sauce, you can use red pizza sauce, white sauce or pesto.
Bread: You can use any bread be it white, multi-grain or whole wheat.
