BABY PIZZA

Since my childhood I had a huge craving for Pizzas. Even now when am sad or I feel too lonely I order a Pizza and watch FRIENDS :) . I always loved Italian foods, in fact the every word ITALIAN deeply attracts me. Although I have never been to Italy yet but what ever I have seen in television has deeply impacted me, the sexy language, the breath-taking architecture and the cheesy gooey cuisine...UUUHHHH LA LA LA!!!! ...told you its attracts me a lot, I secretly wish I could go to Italy ones.... hehehe :D . Well reality stroked again and am back to my senses. The Cricket World Cup matches are going on, not that am very crazy about Cricket but I do watch the World Cup match.....that my Indianness kicking in :) .On the 27th Mar'11 the match was India vs England and since Saturday I had planned to make some good appetizer to enjoy with the match. For the first time I made crescents rolls , pasta frittata , baby pizza and chocolate mousse. I will share all the recipes one by one but lets start with Baby Pizza.
