Sooji Pan Pizza is an instant and delicious snack option that kids can enjoy with their loved ones. Sooji or semolina pizza is a healthier alternative to regular pizza as it is made from a high-fiber flour and is lower in calories.In this recipe I have used semolina/sooji as a base and homemade pizza sauce instead of tomato ketchup.
Homemade pizza also allows you to customize the recipe to your personal tastes and dietary preferences. You can experiment with different toppings, sauces, and cheeses to create unique and delicious flavor combinations.
