Hawaiian Pizza

Craving for pizza? Bake ur own!
You can add as much fillings as u like.
You can add whatever you like.
Best of all, it is healthy.

- Beat the dough to let the air out.
- Knead on a well flour-ed area and roll the dough into circle shape

Spreading the pizza:
- Spread pizza sauce (I buy readily ones. )
