Making a simple pizza at home could be fun.. especially when you realize its actually easier than all those other indian dishes to make.

When we say 'easy' we are not under-estimating the process.. Everything is easy to do in cooking as long we don't want to be perfect, not bother about nutritional facts, and when we know we are only cooking to make a meal and are not actually trying to out do the experts at the pizzarettes.

To be a good cook, you need practise and importantly observe how other people do it. That probably can be said for becoming good in most things actually.

So to do a good pizza, the below process, and some instructions or cookbooks that you can find on the internet or your local store can give you a start.

Make a pizza

What pizzarettes' use to cook is an high-temperature oven (which supports a maximum of 500 degrees centigrade).. but this we may not have at our homes.. and normally we are reading how to cook a pizza only to make one using our new microwave oven. In that case, keep your pizza size small. Also, if you bought a pizza base which is like bread rather than flour, then you cook for as long as the bread doesn't become roasted and hard. Using more cheese and oil can help this.

In india, home-made pizzas aren't the order of the day, and hence you may not find mozerrella cheese or a home-cooked tomato sauce at the stores.
You can though, get a ready-made pizza base, and probably Cheese for pizza from your local food store. Also, bottled tomato sauce can be used, but make sure how much you use, because bottled sauces are generally strong and as Indians we are not used to bulk consumption of bottled sauces.. that might upset your stomach.

Pizza is not a healthy food.. its probably the most bad junk food around, because of lots of cheese, oil, sauce and a lot of all the junk foods put together. So, you should only be eating one a month and also working out regularly at the gym to keep your body from becoming lazy.
