Made at home Gourmet pizza toppings
Although the term "Doctored up" may not be in every culinary book or cooking book, it is definitely a well known term around the kitchen.
Doctoring up food is a tradition to many house holds. For those new to this expression, to "Doctor up" food means making improvements by adding on some extra love to quick or premade foods. Such as store bought sub sandwiches and frozen pizzas. When it comes to frozen pizzas, Grocery stores have so many gourmet varieties to choose from, but how often is the crust not right or the sauce flavorless or too sweet. It is during these times the consumer must take hold of the situation and improvise with a little added fruit or veggie, even a sprinkle of different cheeses to liven the meal up.
Tip #1:If there is a particular brand of frozen pizza that is preferred for it's crust or it's sauce, then begin doctoring up that specific brand.
Tip #2:Avoid choosing pizzas already with more than one topping. Cheese is a nice neutral base to build on.
Tip #3:Always precook raw items such as meat, garlic, thicker cuts of onion and pepper, and root vegetables such as broccoli. Pizza only takes about fifteen minutes to bake, which is not enough time for many food items to even begin to cook.
Tip #4:Be weary when adding watery foods on top of the frozen pizza. Toppings such as tomato should be either sliced as thin as possible, or have the seeds removed to avoid soggy pizza.
