A MICROWAVE OVEN!

First up: 

Cut the veggies. 

If  you don't know how, give your mom a call! Transfer them to a bowl. Add some ketchup to taste and mix them up well, such that all the veggies are evenly distributed; this mix serves as toppings

Now preheat the oven at 200^oC (with nothing in it, yeah that is what “pre”heat means!:)). Again, if you don't know how, read the instruction manual; or just figure it out! TIP: the oven should look red like a furnace and preheat usually lasts ten minutes. You may or may not get a time indication so just wait for the beep(s).

Now, while preheat is going on, take some bread slices and butter one side of each. Now evenly spread the toppings on each slice. Now add a drop of ketchup to the toppings on each slice. This is a real taste changer, so don’t forget it! Next, grate some cheese on ea

ch slice, such that it looks very presentable. Rummage through your kitchen drawers and look for the grill stand component of the oven. You can place upto four or five slices of bread on it as shown in the picture. You can also use the pic as reference to figure out what exactly this grill stand is!

Using a glove, place the grill stand with the slices in the oven. Choose convection mode, set the temperature to 200^oC and set the timer to 8 mins. 

NOTE: brown bread or softer varieties of bread may tend to

burn, so keep an eye on it for the last minute or two. If you feel it’s burning hit stop. After the time’s up, leave some standing time of two minutes, no you don’t need to stand with a stopwatch! The oven beeps once a minute, so switch off after the 2^nd beep and yummy bread pizzas are ready to eat!

NOTE: The bread is supposed to look a little more golden. You can add a couple of more minutes of convection if you want. The quantity of the veggies is sufficient to serve upto 10 slices. The instructions were written keeping the knowledge of amateurs in mind, so experts please don’t mind the language. And most importantly, if you have any questions, please DON’T ask me! :P
