Notes
Pizza stone provides a great crust to your homemade base.
if you do not have the stone, then use a full iron tava / pan(without any silicon/wooden handle) or any metallic tray suitable to oven. To get the molten cheese in between, spread a handful of mozzarella cheese in the center of the pizza and then cheddar on the top.
