Making Pizzas is fun – Other than adapting any recipe to suit our taste buds the thrill of home made pizzas gives quite a high !


Here’s how:-


Ingredients


For the Pizza Dough :-

• Wheat & Multi Grain Flour – 2 cups
• Active dry yeast – 1 tsp
• Milk – 1 cup
• Salt – 1 tsp
• Sugar – 1/2 tsp
• Warm water – as required
• Vegetable oil – 1 to 2 tbsp

• Pitted Olives – a fistful
• Baby Corn – 2 (diced)
• Glazed Cherries – a few
• Onions  – 2 or 3 (thinly sliced)
• Green Capsicum – 1 (thinly sliced)
• Green Chillis – 2 (finely chopped)
• cottage Cheese –  100 gms (cubed)
• Garlic – 3 to 4 pods (chopped & lighlty sauteed)
• Mozarella Cheese – as required

For Garnish:-

• Oregano
• Chilli Flakes
• Tomato Sauce

How:-

Now in a bowl add the flour along with milk , salt and the active yeast. Start kneading the flour by adding warm water gradually. Finally add the vegetable oil and make it in to a smooth pliable dough. Transfer it to a  lightly greased bowl and cover with wet cloth. Allow it to rise and double in size.

After it rises knock off the excess air created by the yeast action and get set for making the base !

I made the base just like our rotis by cooking it on a tava — alternatively u can bake the base in an oven @ 220 C for 10- 15 minutes till it becomes golden & crusty !

Assembling the pizza:-


Preheat the oven in Grill Mode @ 220 C for 10 minutes.


Smear the base with the sauce thoroughly ! Place the choice ingredients and top it up with cheese !
i made 4 different types of pizzas with the toppings:-

with cherries & green chillis (this had an awesome sweet-chiili taste)

finally with roasted garlic

Now for the Mozarella shavings:- ( to keep it healthier be strict with the cheese)

Now it is ready to go in the oven– Grill it for 5 minutes or till the cheese starts melting — Pizza is ready to be attacked !


Sprinkle with choice seasonings like oregano or red flakes and enjoy !
