For instant pizza sauce:

½ cup tomato sauce
2 tbsp chilli sauce
½ tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp mixed herbs

4 slices processed cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
Onion, as per taste
Capsicum, as per taste
Tomato, as per taste
Sweet corn, as per taste

Olives, as per taste

Firstly, take a slice of bread and cut the sides. Flatten it with a rolling pin, and
keep aside.
Now take another bread slice and place a slice of processed cheese.
Top with 1 tbsp of mozzarella cheese to make it extra cheesy.
Cover with the flattened bread.
Now spread 2 tsp of the prepared pizza sauce. You can also use store-bought pizza sauce.
Top with 1 tbsp mozzarella cheese, as well as onion, capsicum, tomato, sweet corn, jalapeno, and olives.
Top with 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese again. Sprinkle chilli flakes and mixed herbs.
Place the bread pizza on pan greased with butter.
Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts completely. Make sure the flame is really low and that the pan is thick-bottomed—you don’t want the bread to burn.

50-50 Sandwich Bread by Sonia Gupta

A delectable 50/50 bread that combines the best of both flours, All-Purpose and Whole Wheat flour. This 50/50 bread is a great option for those who want to make their bread healthier but can't get enough of the fluffiness of all-purpose bread.

Ingredients:

250 gm Whole Wheat Flour
250 gm all-purpose Flour
5 gm Instant Yeast
5 gm Sugar
5 gm Salt
270 ml Water

Preparation:

To activate yeast, dissolve it into lukewarm water with sugar. Let it rest until it froths. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, salt, and activated yeast solution. Start kneading the dough by adding water to it. Make a soft and little sticky dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Add oil to it and knead it for 8-10 minutes until dough becomes non-sticky. Place the dough into a greased bowl and cover it with cling wrap. Place the bowl into a warm and dry place until dough doubles in volume.
Once the dough is double in volume, take it out on kitchen counter. Punch it to release the air. After punching, roll the dough into a rectangular sheet and shape it into a tight log.
For this recipe, I have used Pullman loaf tin (10x4.5x4.5).
Grease the tin and its cover with butter. Place the dough log into the tin with seam side facing the bottom of the tin. Close the lid and let the dough rest for the second rise.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200 °After 30 minutes of resting time, place the tin with closed lid into the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
After 35 minutes, take the tin out from the oven. Demould the bread. Let the bread rest on cooling rack for minimum 2 hours before slicing.
