Upside down vegetable pizza



My husband and i both love pizza. The only thing that i dont prefer is getting home delivery for pizza because by the time it is delivered it gets hard! I was watching the Robin miller show one day and she shared a simple recipe of pizza which seemed difficult because it was upside down!!
Anyway , i modified the recipe by adding some more salt and herbs to the dough. Also, i made the vegetarian version, with lesser cheese. It was an instant hit in our house:-)
My husband loved it and we ate the sides too !!! And most of all , it was fresh!!
Here's my version ...
Ingredients:

1C mozzarella cheese, shredded
For the topping:

1/2C bell pepper chopped
1/2C onions, sliced
1/2C mushrooms, sliced (any kind of mushrooms)
1/2C pizza sauce, store bought
1/2C pasta sauce, store bought
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil

For the dough:

1 egg
3/4C all purpose flour
3/4C milk
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried italian herbs
Method:

1) In a pan, heat oil and drop in the veggies. Let them cook until they become soft. Add pasta sauce and pasta sauce , salt and pepper. Let them simmer till the sauce comes to a boil. Turn off the heat.

2) In a mixing bowl, crack the egg and beat it. Then add milk, olive oil. Whisk them to mix well. Add the flour , salt and herbs and incorporate in the liquid to form a paste. It has a thin consistency so do not worry.

3) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a baking pan, layer the topping mixture first. Then layer the shredded cheese. Pour the dough over the cheese so that it spreads out all over the topping and cheese.

4) Bake it in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the top becomes light brown.

5) Slice ans serve by flipping the slice upside down :-)

Serves: 2

Tip: you can also add other toppings like tomatoes and olives.
