HOMEMADE PIZZA WITH FETTA

Pizza of all descriptions has long been a favorite of the family.  Take away Pizza is yummy because someone else makes it but really the best pizza is the ones you make yourself.

Pizza just out of the oven still on the tray ready to be sliced






I like to use what ever I have available to me and often use left overs as well.



WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Frozen or fresh bases or flat bread are all great for the pizza base.  Apply Leggo's type Pizza Sauce or the like.  Sprinkle the grated Cheeses .. both Cheddar and Mozzarella on the base with the sauce and then place all the toppings of your choice onto the top of the cheeses and then to be topped off with some crumbled Fetta cheese and Ground black pepper.



With regards to the oven temperatures you should follow instructions for the bases via the packaging.  Suffice to say it will be hot.

Toppings of choice / Spinach / Carrot / Onion / Pineapple / Capsicum / Zuchinni / garlic / Baked Pumpkin /Mushrooms / Different meat toppings ie ham or left over spaghetti sauce.
