Did you know that Bruschetta was developed as a way of salvaging bread that was going stale? Garlic Breadcrumbs Pasta, Garlic Bread, Shahi Tukda, and Bread Upma are other ways of using stale bread. I have given the tomato Bruschetta mixture a different flavor by using Indian spices along with the veggies. This tangy tomato Bruschetta topping is used as a pizza topping here. So basically, easy Pizza Bruschetta is everything you love about a Bruschetta but loaded on a cheesy homemade pizza (instead of toasted bread) and topped with a drizzle of Balsamic glaze! It’s a recipe the whole family will love! Bring it on! Other veggies - onions, and bell peppers add a nice contrasting flavor to the tomatoes. Use green or colored bell peppers. Sweet corn can also be added. Herbs - fresh cilantro and fresh basil leaves add so much refreshing flavor to the pizza. Aromatics - fresh garlic, green chillies, and lemon juice give this Pizza Bruschetta recipe the required punch. Spices - chilly powder, cumin powder, and garam masala are the basic spices you will need in order to give this tomato Bruschetta mixture recipe an Indian touch. Besides these ingredients, you will also need good-quality extra virgin olive oil to prepare this simple and delicious tomato bruschetta mixture. It should add flavor and moisture to the mixture without overpowering the rest of the ingredients. Cheese - I love making Bruschetta Pizza with Burrata cheese or Bocconcini (small balls of mild white cheese). Just drain, tear, and use. I also love to add fresh shredded mozzarella cheese (which melts easily) on top of the pizza to get that cheesy crust. Pizza sauce - use any kind of pizza sauce - store-bought or homemade. You can also use pesto sauce or makhani sauce. Tomato Bruschetta is incomplete without the thick and syrupy Balsamic glaze. It’s a blissful pairing and should not be skipped. Do not confuse it with Balsamic vinegar.
This restaurant-quality vegetarian pizza is a great option for weeknights, weekend parties, game nights, brunches, date nights, backyard parties, potlucks, after-school snacks, parties, holidays like Diwali, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Holi, or special days like Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, or New Year’s Eve. If serving at a party, pair Pizza Bruschetta with Jalapeno Poppers or Matar Kachori Pinwheels! The baking time will depend upon the base used. Please follow the instructions on the packet if using a store-bought pizza dough. Feta cheese, Fontina cheese, or ricotta cheese can also be used instead of Bocconcini. Go easy on the cheese to keep this Italian pizza healthy. Greens like Arugula, spinach, or kale can also be added. If you don’t want to give it Indian flavors, skip adding the spices.
