Ingredients

For the pizza base:

  • 1 and 1/4 cups wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon active dry roast
  • 1/4 cup + 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

For the topping:

  • 1/4 cup paneer
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1 teaspoon tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup mozarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 cup capsicum cubed
  • 2 tablespoon pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup big onion cubed

For garnish:

Instructions

  • In 1/4 cup warm water, add sugar and yeast set aside for 10mins. You will see the mixture frothing this ensure that your yeast is active. This test is only for active dry yeast, if you are using instant yeast then skip this step and proceed to next step.
  • In a mixing bowl add the yeast solution, oil and salt whisk it well.
  • Then add wheat flour and mix well. Add remaining 1/4 cup water.
  • Mix well and knead it to form a smooth pilable dough.
  • Keep it in a warm place undisturbed for 2 hrs. When u check after 2 hrs, the dough would have been raised. Now punch it down incase for any air bubbles.
  • I divided the dough to  make 2 small pizzas. Roll the dough to a thin base and cut it out with a lid to get perfect circles. Prick the base with fork to make sure of even cooking and to avoid puffing up.
  • Preheat the oven for 150 degree Celsius for 10 mins.
  • Add tomato sauce and freshly crushed pepper,oregano and mix well, Set aside.
  • Grease a baking tray with little oil and sprinkle little flour.
  • Transfer the rolled pizzas to the baking tray, and bake in preheated oven for 7-9mins.
  • Once the pizza base is ready brush it with milk. Alternatively,If you want to bake both the base and topping together then at this stage add the topping and bake at 200 deg C for 15-20 mins.
  • Spread pastaa sauce on the pizza base.
  • First add half of grated cheese then arrange the toppings - I've used onion, capsicum and paneer.
  • Then add remaining grated cheese.While you arrange the toppings, preheat oven at 200 deg C for 10mins.
  • Once both the pizzas are ready, bake in preheated oven for 5-mins until cheese melts and the base turns golden brown at the edges. After removing from oven add oregano, chilli flakes cut into wedges and enjoy!
  • Serve Veg Pizza hot always!!

Notes

  • The thumb rule : If you are baking just the base then its 150 deg C, if you are baking both base and topping it should be 200 deg C for 15-20mins.
  • You can make variations for topping like soya, paneer, corn etc.
  • The dough shouldn't be sticky...if so then your dough is watery so add in a little more flour. The dough shouldn't be very tight, if it is then the pizza will be hard.
  • You can use the same recipe for white base too, but adjust water quantity alone as white flour may take a little less than wheat flour.
  • The resting time totally depends on the type of yeast you are using.
  • To check if the pizza is cooked inside : If you cut a tiny area at the sides with a knife, u can see if its cooked fully by seeing the bread like texture then your pizza is done.
  • You can even lay aluminium foil or butter paper on the try and then roll the dough on it.
  • If you are using instant yeast no need to proof it, add it along with water and just mix it.
  • As my oven tray is small, I always divide the dough into 2 or 3 and make pizzas.
    It is again a no fail recipe. The only thing to keep in mind is the measurements and the yeast activeness. With the measurement specified above , u can make 3 small thin crust pizzas.
  • I used Amul pizza cheese and Bluebird brand active dry yeast both I got from Nilgiris.
