Pizza

Pizzaaaaaaa. Yes, few weeks back while seeing any pizza outlets that sound used to come instantly. Now as per my husband’s opinion best pizza can be made only at home. Because your choices are free. Double cheese….triple cheese….extra olive….whatever you want…hehehe.

Ingredients for dough:

• 1 package dry yeast (10-12gm)
• 1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

 Mix the dry yeast in 1 cup of luke warm (not hot) water in a large bowl with sugar.

After 2-3 minutes, stir in the flour & salt. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).

This dough will be very firm.

 Place in a lightly greased mixing bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size (about 2hrs). Remove cover and punch dough down.

Cover again and let rise again.

 Topping Ingredients:

• 100ml tomato paste/ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon basil flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1tsp of black pepper
• 1/2 cup fresh sliced jalapeno
• 1/4 cup of sweet corn
• 1/4 cup of black olive& 1tsp of chopped garlic
• 10 smal cubes  of tomatos
• 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese
• 1tblespoon of olive oil (optional)

Preheat oven for 200degree C.

Make thick chapatti of the dough using roller. If needed flour can be used to roll the dough in this period .

 In a medium-sized bowl, combine the tomato paste, basil, oregano, garlic,salt and pepper. Spread the sauce across the top of rolled dough.

Sprinkle 75% of the grated and shredded cheeses on top of the sauce mixture and then place all vegetables on top of cheeses.

Again sprinkle rest of the cheese on  top of the vegetables.

Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until done.
