Kareena Kapoor posted two Instagram stories of her baking a deep dish pizza that looked delicious

Kareena Kapoor is not usually seen posting cooking videos or pictures on social media. Recently, however, the Angrezi Medium actor gave us a sneak peek into her culinary skills.

The mother-to-be posted two Instagram stories of her baking a deep-dish pizza that looked delicious, to say the least. “Deep-dish pizza has hit my heat deep,” she captioned one of the pictures.

Deep-dish pizza originates in Chicago and is baked in a pan, which gives the dish a high edge and provides ample space of a large amount of cheese and other toppings, adding to its richness in taste. Besides, baking pizza in a pan is a good option if you do not have a baking tray at hand.
