Health/Cooking Tip
1.You can add different types of mushrooms/sun dried tomatoes/chicken to this recipe for more flavours/variations.
2. If using mushrooms,peel off the top skin/layer of the mushroom and gently clean all the dirt from it by using a damp cloth/ napkin and make sure they are cleaned well.Avoid washing the mushrooms as it would absorb a lot of water like a sponge and that would change the flavour and texture of the dish.
3. Use a whole wheat flour or a whole grain flour instead of refined flour to make the pizza base.
