How to make Cheezy Green Pizza

1. The pizza can be made on stove-top or oven. I have added steps for both
2. In a pan, add 1 tbsp melted butter, saute Broccoli, add 1/3 cup water, cover and cook until Broccoli is tender. Take a mixing bowl, add Capsicum, broccoli. Sprinkle salt and pepper and toss it well. Keep it aside
3. In another heated pan, add 1 tbsp melted butter, milk, garlic, flour and salt. There should be no lumps.Keep stirring it bringing it boil. As it thickens, add 1/4 cup cheese. Once cheese starts melting, switch it off and keep it aside. This is the cheese sauce
4. OVEN VERSION
5. Preheat the oven to 180
6. Apply Butter on both side of pizza base and bake it for 3-4 mins. I do this to get a crispy crunchy taste. This step is completely optional
7. Generously apply cheese sauce on the base, add broccoli mix, jalapenos, oregano. Sprinkle the grated mozarella cheese on top. Bake it for 15-18 mins until cheese melts. Add additional toppings as required and serve hot with sauce/Ketchup
8. STOVETOP Version
9. Butter both sides of pizza base and warm it up on Tawa....Bottom should be just warmed while the top should be browned....Do not burn or blacken it....this step is to ensure you get nice crusty pizza. switch off and transfer the pizza base
10. The lightly warmed surface will be bottom and browned surface will be pizza base to add the contents.Generously apply cheese sauce on the base, add broccoli mix, jalapenos, oregano. Sprinkle the grated mozarella cheese on top
11. Add 1 tbsp butter, heat the tawa or shallow pan. Carefully place the pizza . Cook on low flame, cover while cooking. Care should be taken that it should not be cooked uncovered and at the same time should have some air while cooking. Place a spatula between the lid and pan
12. Cook for 7-9 minutes until cheese melts. Shift the pizza to the plate ...Add the toppings and serve hot with sauce/Ketchup

My Tip:

You can substitute butter for Olive oil for healthier version. I added butter to get the right flavor
