Homemade pizza
Description
You can make pizza as an appetizer or for dinner. You can buy ready-made dough or make it yourself, which is not particularly difficult. Pizza is always served hot, so eat it right after baking, but be careful. If you don't have tomato sauce, you can make it from fresh tomatoes or tomato paste. It can be served with tea or coffee.
