Why is pizza famous in Bangladesh?
This Pizza is an all-time favorite among most people in Bangladesh. This recipe is perfect for those who want to enjoy chicken in the form of Pizza.
One of the main reasons for its popularity is that it is made with various spices and herbs, which make it delicious and flavorful. The second reason this type of Pizza is so prevalent in Bangladesh is that most people don’t have time to prepare other types of food, and It takes very little time to make.
In Bangladesh, there are many small stores where food items are sold at affordable prices, and chicken pizza is one of them.
Best cooking method of Bangladeshi pizza
The best cooking method for this chicken Pizza is baking it in the oven.
This is because the oven can reach a higher temperature than a stovetop, and you will be able to cook it faster. The oven’s high heat also allows for more even browning, which helps make sure that your pizza crust cooks evenly.
The only drawback of baking your Pizza in the oven is that it requires a little bit more effort than cooking on the stovetop.
This method also gives you control over how your dish will turn out and how long it will take to cook. The downside of this method is that the cheese may become too brown, so be careful with that.
The secret of Bangladeshi pizza recipe
To make the perfect Bangladeshi chicken pizza recipe, you need to start with a thick and sturdy crust to hold all of the toppings. The best way to achieve this is by using a premade pizza dough or rolling out your dough.
You can create your pizza sauce by adding minced garlic, basil leaves, oregano, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth. You can also add any other herbs or spices that you want, such as thyme or rosemary.
I recommend using diced chicken breast instead of shredded mozzarella cheese for this recipe because it melts better without being too stringy and clumpy.
For perfect pizza bread, take out the dough from the refrigerator so that it can warm up before you start working with it.
You may also use leftover chicken, or you can cook a whole chicken in the oven if you want to save time.
I used those ingredients as toppings. You can add more if you want, like mushrooms, red or yellow capsicum, pickle, and many more ingredients.
