Pan Pizza ( Type 2 )

This is my second variety pan pizza. My husband makes the pizza this way and i felt this is a better way for making pan pizza. I used the MilkyMist Mozarella pizza cheese  here which  is better than amul pizza cheese that i always used to use.

The main difference in this is the way i cooked the  pizza here. You will for sure get to know once you go through this wonderful yummy pizza recipe.

Here i used less flour as i want the thickness of the crust much lesser .

All thanks to my husband for this recipe !!!!
