cheesy Fries pizza

Cheesy Fries Pizza

Weekend without pizza is incomplete :-P 

There is nothing better than pizza on Friday night. As baking becomes your stress buster and I just love to bake something for my family specially after hectic 5 days, hectic 5 days means the same simple cooking we all do in our kitchen and it becomes boring for me ,so to overcome these blue moods I love to try my hands on baking. Baking reduces your stress and works in changing your bad mood too. So last Friday night I have baked some crunchy based pizza with a heavy loaded toppings.

When I have served this pizza to my family ,on giving a look to it they said "Wow". This cheesy fries pizza base was crunchy from outside and soft inside and the crispy fries with melted cheese was really delicious, as it got vanished with in half an hour ;-)
Its a heavy loaded pizza with pure vegetarian toppings which includes corns, capsicum ,onions and potato fries. You can make your pizza non vegetarian also by adding shredded chicken pieces or nuggets too. but this pizza is total a vegetarian delicacy.
So try out this pizza on this coming Friday and make your weekend  interesting .
