Pizza

Pizzas can be easily made at home. The advantage of preparing pizzas at home is that we can add the veggies we like of our choice. As I am a vegetarian, I always get less number of options at restaurants. I prepare different varieties with different choices of toppings. Pizzas can be prepared from scratch. In my blog, I shared Pizza base and Pizza Sauce(Tomato). Nowadays, I started to prepare pizza weekly once in between regular cooking menu

Ingredients:

Preparation Time: 15 Mins| Cooking Time : 20 Mins | Serves: 2-3

Vegetables as per choice ( I have taken onion, tomato,Capsicum(yellow,green), black grapes)

Method:

Step 1-Yeast Activation:

Take a luke warm water, dissolve sugar in it
mix the dry yeast without making any lumps
set is aside for 10 minutes
yeast gets activated forming froth on top layer

Step 2: Dough Preparation:

take a bowl, mix flour and salt
yeast water is added for dough preparation by adding partly
knead the dough well for 10-15 minutes which gives softness for pizza base
once the dough is prepared, apply oil on surface and close it with a wrap or air tight container
set it aside for 2 hours for proofing
after 2 hours, we get double the size of dough

Step 3- adding toppings and Baking:

Pre Heat Oven For 350F/180C For 10 Minutes
take a baking pan, I used cast iron. spread the dough evenly on it
start layering the toppings – expand base, spread tomato sauce on top
Add Cheese And Other Vegetables Of Our Choice. Put Some More Cheese On Top ( cheese can be added as per taste)
Place It In The Oven And Bake It For 10-12 Minutes (Pizza Gets Ready Once The Cheese Is Melted)
