HOMEMADE YEAST FREE THIN CRUST PIZZA

It was a cold Tuesday night , I was craving for pizza for no reason. So , here I go ransacking my kitchen for ingredients I can use for my pizza topping and crust. I was searching high and low for my instant yeast , but I couldn't find any . Gosh , craving for pizza and I must find my way to make it!!!! .... Doink .......... an idea came to my mind : Yeast Free Thin Crust Pizza... Want a glimpse of it ? Here we go...........


How's that sounds to you ? So I was thinking , hey why not , there is no limitation to making food. LOL... Since its going to be a yeast free pizza crust , I decided to be lazy . I use my new food processor instead of kneading it by hand . Smart eh ?.... shhhhhhhh..... Just to pamper myself once in a while . It turns out to be real crusty pizza, like how I always wanted it to be. ;) I will definitely make it again ..

Unbelievably crunchy and tasty . Believe it . lol.... I just use whatever ingredients that I can find in my fridge .




 It turns out to be colourful. Heehee.... I am not a big of cheese either , so I opt not use too much cheese on my pizza ........... It is still a tasty pizza though..
