Pizza with a twist/ Cheesy happiness METHOD :

Bread used: Toast Bread

INGREDIENTS : For Pizza Filling Red bell pepper ¼ cup Yellow bell pepper ¼ cup Tomato finely chopped (remove seeds) 1 cup Grated cheese (Mozrella) 1 cup Italian seasoning 2 tbsp Tomato sauce 2 tbsp Chili flakes (optional) 1 tbsp For Cheese dip 3 Tbsp garlic butter (melted) 3 Tbsp grated cheese 2 Tbsp tomato sauce 1 Tbsp Mayo (optional) Pizza Bottom Toast Bread slice from Alma Big and small round cookie cutter

In a bowl add the pizza filling ingredients and mix well. Adjust the seasoning to taste.This is going to be topping to fill the space. Be ready with cookie cutters and bread slices. In another bowl mix melted butter, grated cheese, and tomato sauce. Mix well and keep it ready.This spread work will be used on the base on which the slice will be kept. Now with the big cookie cutter (big enough to get the bigger circle from the bread slice) cut all the bread slices to a circle. Keep aside 4 of the bread circles. Use the smaller cookie cutter to cut the center of the remaining 4 circles. Don’t worry, no part of the bread will go waste. The circle ring and big round slice is what we will use. On big slice which makes for the base apply the cheese dip generously and place the ring bread. The hollow part fill with the vegetable pizza filling. Sprinkle some grated cheese over it. Brush the sides of the bread with some garlic butter. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place all the bread pizza rings in a greased baking tray and bake for 15 minutes till you get brown sides.The cheesy vegetable disc pizza can be served with tomato sauce or just have it as it is
