Yesterday, I shared a post on insta/FB about my plans to buy an oven.
For those of you, who are visiting this space for the first time, we moved from Bahrain to Kochi recently and I don't have an oven at my new place.
I tried buying an oven, but the models am looking for are not available. Thanks to Corona, many people have discovered their love for baking and ovens are high in demand!
Anyways, I asked for suggestions about oven brands on social media and got a wonderful response. So, I thought after all the “oven talk” let me share a beautiful baking recipe.
This Crazy Crust Chicken Pizza is something you can try… if you are looking for a variety of savory bake which is not complicated but looks fab! It tastes just as good as it looks. It's called a crazy crust pizza because there is no yeast or kneading. The pizza base is made in a blender/mixie, yes, you heard it right ;)
It's so easy to put together, even new bakers can make it just like that. It's good for weekend brunch or movie marathons or Netflix parties.
If you are a fan of savoury bakes, please do try it.
Here is the recipe…

Notes
- You can add any topping to the pizza. You can make a pepperoni pizza, alfredo pizza, ranch pizza…you name it.
- But follow the crust recipe as it is and add the topping to the crust batter.
- If you prefer a very thin crust, use a bigger pan.
- Keep a close watch while you broil it since the cheese can get burnt easily.
