EID SPECIAL MINI PIZZA

EID SPECIAL MINI PIZZA

Note:

Mozzarella Cheese is an essential part of Pizza, so please see to it that the Cheese you bought is of a good standard which melts as it has to. Unfortunately, the Cheese I used in this Mini Pizza was not as good as it has to be, it did not melt properly and I knew it after the Pizzas were baked.  So please, bear with me and my shortcomings.

One more thing I must clarify here that I am neither a Chef nor a Cooking Expert and at the same time I don't have sophisticated facilities available with me, like a well equipped and furnished Kitchen or the specialized utensils and machinery. At the same time, the pictures I take of my recipes are by Simple Mobile Phone, so I work with all these meager facilities.

I am more interested in baking but I know that my viewers need everything from a Cooking Blog, so that is why I try my hand in experimenting with other dishes. I request all my viewers to please keep in mind all my shortcomings as well.

I try my hand at everything because I am immune from FEAR OF FAILURE, and expect my viewers to do the same because if you fail in making any dish, try it again, the Sky will not fall if our dish is not up to the mark. Trying again and again with meager resources is a big success in itself. Remember, no one is perfect.

MINI PIZZA

Pizza is the favorite dish or snack at my home, kids love it, so my wife used to bake Pizzas at home for them. Later when I started baking, I learned the art of baking Pizza from my wife and tried some new ideas for Pizza, like Heart-Shaped Pizza, Sweet Pizza and then Mini Pizzas.  The Mini Pizza is more easy to distribute among the kids for having them as and when they like and they don't have to cut the pieces etc.

I wanted to give History of Pizza here but due to time constraints during Ramazan fasting, I have postponed this idea for now.  InshaALLAH, I'll give its history and other details when I'll post Traditional Standard size Pizza in Round, Square and Heart Shape.
