OR
For baking them on Gas stove
- Heat a flat surfaced tava (the one we make rotis) for 5-7 mins until very hot.
- Simultaneously heat a shallow frying pan on another stove and brush it with a little oil.
- Then add the bread slices along with the toppings and cheese on the frying pan.
- And then place the hot tava on the frying pan covering it
- Cover Bake until the base is crispy and the cheese on top of the bread melts.
Serve them hot along with sauce of your choice.
Additional tips:-
- Serve the Bread Slice Pizza hot, right from the oven or pan. That is when they taste the best. They may turn a little soggy after a while.
- You may choose to use any other toppings of your choice like mushrooms, diced pineapple chunks, olives etc.
