Create your own pizza fun

Why bother doing this you ask? Control is what I say. Nowadays, with the easy access to everything instatnt, we sacrifice a lot (from quality down to preferences). Once you start making your own pizza, you can only be limited by your imagination. If you think that it will take up too much time and you don't even know if it will turn out good, simply throw that notion out the back door. It's high time to bring out the child in you. The part that would just be so eager to try something new and unknown. Bring out the mad scientist in you. Let's find out where it would take you.

Here is a simple thin crust recipe you could start out with. Give it a go. You might just like it.

I made basil, tomato, ham and mozzarella pizza with this recipe. I just drizzled the pizza with olive oil instead of smothering it with sauce. It turned out pretty good if I can say so myself.

Enjoy your own creation and share it with everyone. As you can see, one is taken with a flash and the other without. I think I'll stick with using the flash.
