Yep, that's right, as the title of this post suggests - I made pizza. Not just ordinary pizza though, this was Nigella's Crustless Pizza.
I must admit, I was a little apprehensive about this recipe. I love the crust on a pizza. More specifically, I love the cheesey stuffed crust on Pizza Hut pizza's. I feel so guilty when I eat that, not because of the carbs or the fat content or whatever, but because all I can think as I'm eating that beautiful crust is, "Cheeeeeese, cheese is my most favourite food everrrr." I feel guilty about thinking this about this product mostly because it's not even real cheese, it's so fake and processed, and there are so many more delectable cuisines out there, yet I cant help myself. So I guess if everyone has a guilty pleasure, this is mine! And now back to thee Crustless Pizza, well, it was actually delicious. I didn't think about Pizza Hut's cheesey stuffed crust pizza once. It's even incredible easy to make. Here's how to do it:
- Beat together 1 Egg, 2/3 Cup of Flour, 1 Cup of Milk, a pinch of Salt and 1/2 Cup of Cheddar Cheese (I used mild).
- Once the above becomes a smooth batter, pour it into a pie dish. Yes, I repeat, a pie dish. Then chuck it in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 degrees celsius.
- Take it out of the oven and sprinkle on another 1/2 Cup of Cheese (I used mozzarella, but cheddar is a-okay), and slices of salami or chorizo. But really any toppings you're in the mood for, or have sitting in the fridge at moment, would suffice.
- Put the dish back in the oven for a few more minutes to cook through the toppings, and melt the second batch of cheese.
This really is a must try. If anyone does give it a go, please let me know what you think.

Smooth batter mixture poured into pie dish - pre oven time.
After 30 minutes in the oven. Definitely did it some good.
Toppings added, and ovened for another few minutes.
The perfect home made slice.
So if anyone read my intro post, they'd know that I had only intended to do one post a week. This is now my second post in 3 days. What can I say? I'm hooked! Hooked on blogging, cooking and Nigella'ing. Mostly Nigella'ing. Here's hoping this "Honeymoon period" lasts, haha.
Yours truly,
Kate
