Tips

Be sure to use a heavy tawa, skillet or pan so that the bread slices do not burn underneath. Low heating is the key to a perfectly baked golden crust bread pizza .Chop all vegetables and place them over cream cheese layer before starting baking.Pan frying the bread with little butter makes the base crisp and aromatic.
