Final day under Make your own Pizza . Well the last two days I have been posting variations of Pizza , where I posted a Watermelon Pizza , Pizza Soup , but today I decided to give you guys an actual pizza , no not a Italian pizza but a Turkish Pizza .
I remember Pavani posting one long back , and ever since I have been wanting to make one . This is a boat shaped stuffed pizza where mostly non veg stuffing is added , sometimes topped with eggs . Since we are vegetarians I decided on a corn stuffing along with some pizza purée. You could choose your own stuffing . The boat shape ripped open from one side but it tasted amazing . Yes I did cheat for once ! I had just one slice , to know what exactly I had made .

This is a favorite in my house! Your pide looks amazing. Colorful and perfectly baked.
I’m drooling over this wonderful bake.
Turkish pizza is looking very tempting. Initially it seemed to me as a normal pizza except the shape. Later I realized, it contains no Italian herbs.
That’s a droolworthy pizza! Yum yum yum. The beautiful clicks make it all the more tempting. I have to eat this now 🙂
looks amazing and I love the crispy crust
Such a yummy and golden crusted pizza .. I totally loved it!!
I have made this but with a different filling and loved it to the core. The sweet corn topping also looks super inviting..
The pide absolutely delicious! The clicks are tempting me to grab a slice off the screen,Vaishali…
