Do you love the mind-blowingly tasty pizza puff from your favourite burger joint? Join the gang of  puff lovers with us. Whenever we are in a mood of a light, tasty small meal but burger sounds too heavy, Pizza Puff is what we order to satisfy our cravings. So, we were just too curious to experiment making it at home and well, we succeeded. Yes! We made pizza puff at home, which was as close to Pizza Puff as it could be, please believe us! And, here we are - super excited to share the secret (not-so secret now) recipe with you all.

We made this puff with sooji flour as it makes for crispy covering, which we wanted for our puff. So, you have to knead the flour with sooji, salt and enough oil to coat all the flour. And, since we are replicating restaurant-like puff, which is mostly a vegetarian dish, we gathered basic veggies we use for veg pizza, along with pizza sauce that you can easily get in stores.
