Don’t worry, you don’t need to get or make the pizza base, just use your regular bread for the crispy and airy pizza base.

Bread in the base might sound unappetizing but believe us, it is not. And, if you bake it in your oven, you’ll get a light, crunchy and fluffy base with a simple yet delicious cheesy topping. You can grill it on tawa or pan. It is a quick, instant, and tasty variation of pizza recipe which you can enjoy while craving for pizza. The bread base mimics the pizza base with veggie toppings.

These easy homemade mini pizzas, indeed an interesting snack for kids which they enjoy and you can serve a variety of vegetables to them on the pizza which they deny to eat.

For the base of the pizza, I used bread slices and cut those slices with the help of cookies cutter or tumbler. If you don’t want to use bread then you can take the tortilla sheets and cut them. It will also make your nice firm, crispy and nice pizza which you can enjoy at your snack. 

In my recipe I have used bread you can use any variety of bread to make bread pizza like whole wheat flour bread or white bread or multi-grain bread or brown bread or wheat sandwich bread. But I have used white bread for the pizza. Don’t use fresh bread as fresh bread will become soggy after applying sauces and don’t become firm and crisp. 

Generally, pizza sauce is used to make a pizza. But in this recipe, you can use white sauce and even pesto sauce as the base sauce or you can use schezwan chutney with mayonnaise to make your pizza creamy and spicy. You can also use homemade sauces at the base. To your pizza garlicky take a tablespoon of butter and add chopped garlic and mix it well. Apply garlic butter on the bread slices.

For the toppings, you can use veggies of your choice. I always stick to onions, tomatoes, and capsicum (bell pepper). You can also add some olives. Sometimes I add steamed sweet corn too. You can even use baby corn, sauteed mushrooms, or sauteed spinach. To make it more colorful you can add red, yellow, and green bell peppers. 

You can make the pizza sandwich with the same recipe. In this, you don’t need to cut the bread slices. Take the bread slice apply the sauce and top it with your favorite ingredients cover it with another bread slice and put it in a sandwich maker.
