Pizza base is very easy to make, if you are aware of preparatory process of the base formation. To make fluffy pizza, you have to add ACTIVE yeast in it. There are other yeasts available in market which is not active instant yeast so when you use them in the pizza dough then dough grows in its size and looks spongy. So be little cautious while making pizza dough otherwise your pizza will not taste good. Also make sure to cook your pizza base sufficiently from inside-out else you will get a under-cooked  base. Over-cooking of the base should also be avoided otherwise your base would be stiff and hard to eat. Do sufficient practice for making proper pizza base since it is the most important step; other steps for making pizza toppings is fairly simple and easy. So here I tried to write each and every step to make a proper pizza base…do follow and let me know.

½ cup yogurt
