- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Scatter the cooked tandoori beef slices over the sauce.
- Add the sliced bell pepper and onion on top of the beef.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the pizza.
5. Bake the Pizza:
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake according to your dough’s instructions or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
