Pizza is a Italian cuisine which is popular dish made with an oven baked, flat, generally round bread that is covered with tomatoes or a tomato-based sauce and mozzarella cheese. A favorite dish liked by all age group-from young to old. The first thing that comes to one’s mind would be Pizza Hut – has branches world-wide. For a very long time I have a desire to make pizza at home- that’s my version with the inspiration of Pizza Hut’s Suffered Crust Pizza. It came out excellently but not the level of Pizza Hut. My hubby made a suggestion to add baking powder to the dough hoping that it will be as soft as Pizza Hut but it did not make any difference at all so I have omit that ingredient which I tried in the recipe. Anyway I did try it out accordingly to my taste and I’m happy with that- so try out my recipe of home-Made Pizza.I'm making my pizza with leftover grilled chicken but you can add your own toppings accordingly to your taste.

A quick peek at the Pizza Hut menu available in Singapore. They serve excellent Stuffed Crust Pizzas which are not available in USA. Our Favorite whenever you feel like having a pizza...
