Ultimate Homemade Pizza

Pizza night calls for fun activities and games, you'd expect my family & I to have a pizza night with board games and wine on a Friday night, but here we are, on a Tuesday, enjoying a night in and this is one of the blessings of working from home.

I made this delicious pizza with my brother - to be fair he did most of the work, working with the dough, especially and we were so happy with how it turned out.

I hope you love this pizza,it's so delicious and flavourful. I must say the green prepper brings out the best flavor, and it's mouth-watering 🤤 You can get more of my pizza recipes on my website, I have linked them all down below. Happy Cooking!
