Pizza anyone?

So I'm in a lecture and getting distracted... since I'm now supposed to not be using Stalkbook games, we shall have a recipe of sorts.

I had pizza for dinner last night, just because it tastes awesome.

How to make awesome pizza:
What you need:
A base
A sauce
Some topping
Cooking device

Base:

• Pizza base, either frozen or fresh. The frozen ones I bought last night were from the freezer section, $5 for three empty bases. Fresh ones are also awesome, but tend to be a bit more spensive, however you can get more choices - smaller, squarer, already with sauce etc
• Pita bread - that Lebanese double layered thin bread you can put stuff in the middle of (my favourite being thick margarine and vegemite). Tis cheap, you get 8 "bases" for under $5
• Make your own - I have yet to do this, but it involves yeast and flour and stuff. Maybe at a later date we'll explore that more
• Frozen/fresh pizza to which you add extra toppings. I wouldn't recommend this as a cheap option but thank you Gilmore Girls

Sauce

• I usually use tomato paste (<$2 for a jar), but can also use tomato sauce, or special "pizza sauce" (read:expensive).
• If I'm using fresh greens I use Hoummous
• Pesto has been suggested but I have yet to try.

Topping
Generally whatever's in the fridge but some suggestions, or just steal a few pizza shop menus for ideas:

• sweet corn - I LOVEEEEE canned sweetcorn on pizza. They keep their sweetness once you cook it
• mushroom
• small goods (meat)- if you just want a small amount of salami or kabana or devon or whatever, try it from the Deli section, it tends to be MUCH cheaper than in the packages. This also includes bacon bits
  
• onion - fresh, or try pickled (obviously sliced)
• BBQ chicken
• olives
• anchovies
• capers
• pineapple
  
• fresh tomato
• herbs - better on the tomato layer but works just under cheese. Try italian mixed, oregano, garlic etc
• hoummous, spinich, pumpkin and feta (without cheese) is delicious and slightly exotic
• grated cheese - either at the bottom of the pile or the top. Buy an Ikea grater...
  

Cooking:

• Oven good - 220 (200) degree C for thick base, 160 for thin. Read the packaging. Cook until cheese melted.
  
• Can also do under griller of stove, much easier to burn this way
• Use a china/ceramic (not plastic, and not the "Royal Doulton" good china) dinner plate if you don't have a pizza tray
  

Don't forget, like I did the other night, that the plate, although now no longer in teh oven, is probably still hot.
