Green Bell Pepper and Onion Pizza Recipe

Coming to the final recipe of the Pizza series, this was my most favourite among the three. While the other two were less spicy, this one was so spicy because of the onion and pepper used. The pepper also had some nice crunch in it which made an awesome texture change for the otherwise soft pizza. And with generous amount of cheese, it was so delicious. Relish it when hot from oven. Reheating it doesn’t do good for the flavours.

As for the cheese, I used my home made mozarella (click on the name for recipe) which was so amazing. As you can see in the below photo, it was so stretchy and stringy, I was super proud at my work. And using green bell peppers, the pizza turned out so bright and colourful. You can also find a video in my youtube channel for the home made mozarella. It is quite easy to make. I added two layers of grated cheese, one after the sauce and one after the topping. So the pizza has a double cheese layer which gives you double the delight.
