Quick & Easy Home-Made Pizza

I found a quick shortcut to making my own pizza. As with the baby back ribs, I prefer to home-cook because of the lack of pork options in the restaurants in Malaysia. But, because I am lazy, I'm always looking for short cuts to making cooking easier and faster.

If you really wanted to make it from scratch, you could make your own pizza dough. Me, I either buy the pizza base from the baking shop or as I recently discovered, naan bread makes a great pizza base. You could get that from any supermarket. I prefer to use garlic naan. As for the topping, just use your imagination...I like to use real bacon and real sausages (translated: real = pork).

Here's my recipe:

1) 1 Pack garlic naan

2) Pork bacon & sausages - sliced (Can also vary with salami, pepperoni, you get my drift...)

3) Tomatoes - sliced (Can also vary with bottled sun-dried tomato)

4) Capsicum - sliced

5) Canned pineapple - sliced

6) Anchovies - diced (as this has very strong flavour, use sparingly)

7) Red onion - sliced

8) 1 Pack pizza cheese - Combination of Mozarella, Parmesan & Cheddar

9) Olive oil

10) Fresh basil - chopped

11) Cracked black pepper

11) 1 Can tomato paste (Can also vary with pesto sauce for a different flavour)

The Pizza...

Spread tomato paste or pesto sauce on the garlic naan. Layer the pizza with ingredients 2-7. The beauty of it is you can add any combination or all ingredients, according to your whim and fancy at that time. Finish off with a generous topping of pizza cheese, sprinke of black pepper and basil . Drizzle olive oil over the pizza.

The Tray...

Place a piece of greaseproof paper on the pizza tray. Grease the paper with butter/oil. Place pizzas on tray.

The Oven...

Preheat the oven to 200C. Bake the pizza for about 15-20 minutes.

The Finished Result...
