VEG PIZZA FROM SCRATCH

              Even though it has italian roots, Pizza is worldwide favorite. Making pizza from scratch is not at all difficult and you don't have to go for a trip to grocery store for this as you probably have everything on hand. In this recipe I'm not using any yeast. But using yeast the pizza dough comes out really moisted so soon I'll post the recipe for that too.

INGRADIENTS:
FOR DOUGH:
All purpose flour - 2.5 cups
Baking powder - 3 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Water - 1 - 1 1/2 cup
FOR TOPPING:
Mozzarella cheese - 1.5 cup
Tomato sauce - 3 tbsp ( tomato puree + little garlic + little italian seasoning + salt + papper)
Toppings of your choice, I used
Onion sliced
Green pepper sliced
Pineapple small chunks
Tomatoes thinly sliced

METHOD:
  • Mix dry ingredients for dough and 3/4 cup water and oil.
  • Mix well until it forms a ball. If dough is stiff, add more water.
  • The dough should be soft not sticky. Knead on a floured surface for 3-4 mins.
  • Let it rest for 15 mins covered. Then pat and roll it to desired size,Like thick or thin crust as you want, I made it to a rectangle as my kid loves the shape. :-) and poke it all over with a fork to avoid any bubbles.
  • Bake at 400 Degree Fahrenheit for 12 mins.
  • Get it out of the oven, Spread the tomato sauce, cheese and your desired toppings. sprinkle little salt and pepper powder.if you want you can put italian seasoning and chilli flakes too.
  • Bake at 350 Degree Fahrenheit for 10 mins or till the cheese is bubbling.
  • Serve it hot.
Makes 4 servings.
P.S. It is not really necessary  to follow the cheese quantity you can put as much as possible.
