Pizzzaaaa....

Mama Miaaa... Its Pizza day today... Come on everyone.. Lets make a delicious veg cheese pizza with a home-made base in the oven drippling over hot cheese and a taste a soft veggies with a glass of coke and Hot and sweet tomato ketchup... yummmmieee...

So now , lets start , with the ingredients but we will keep it very simple this time as in pizza you can make a change in your toppings as per your wish...

Ingredients : (For one small size pizza)

For the Base 

Maida : 1 Cup (100-150gms)
Yeast : 1 Teaspoon
Sugar : 3/4 Teaspoon
Salt : 1 Teaspoon
Curd : 2 Teaspoons
Oil : 1 Tablespoon
Warm water : 3/4 Cup (to Knead the dough)

At First we will knead the dough and keep it in a warm place for about 4-5 hours for chrunchy munchy base. Actually , Softness of the pizza depends on the consistency of the kneaded dough. If you want a soft pizza knead the dough a bit wetty and for a crispier dough knead it less soft (similar to the way we knead a puri dough).

Take some luke warm water, add the active dry yeast and sugar . Keep it aside for 10-15 mins. Now , till this time , Take maida , salt and curd and few drops of oil mix them properly. After about 10-15 mins you will be able to see a creamy white layer on the solution of sugar /yeast/water. Mix it properly with a spoon so that all the granules of yeast and sugar are completely dissolved in water  Now knead a soft dough with this water. Add some more water if you want. 

Keep kneading and punching the dough for about 8-10 mins till it is turned into a soft , white , spongy lump. Now apply some oil on the lumpy bumpy from all sides , cover it with a polythene sheet and keep it in a warm place.
After about 2 hours , check the dough , it would have grown in almost double the size you have kept. Punch it for about 4-5 minutes. 

Again wrap it the same way by applying few drops for oil and keep it again in a warm place. Repeat this procedure twice but now for 40 mins or so.


Now we will check for the ingredients for topping

For the topping :

Onion 1 Small: Chopped in tiny cubes
Tomato 1/2 Small : Chopped in tiny cubes
Capsicum Small Piece : Chopped in tiny cubes
Green/Red Chillies : Chopped in tiny pieces
Olives 2-3 : Chopped in tiny cubes
Corn : 15-20 pods
Cheese : Grated (2-3 cubes)
Tomato Ketchup : 3 Teaspoons
Butter : 8-10 gms ( a small chunk)
Salt as per taste



So , now after around 5 hours of your base sleeping sound in a warm place :) wake him up.. I mean .. Bring it out on the oven tray .. Sprinkle some maida on the tray and punch the base a bit. Now spread it from all sides , of about 7-8 mm of thickness with the ends turned up a bit. Wait , I will show you a picture below so that to make it clear. And yes , one more thing by the time you are arranging the toppings, preheat the oven at 110 degrees/ 6 gas mark.




It is time to spread you topping on the base. First layer should be of tomato ketchup , then sprinkle some salt and then add a layer of grated cheese. Now add few cubes of onion , tomato , green/red chillies , olives , capsicum , corn etc. Cover the base completely but make sure you don't overload the base. Sprinkle some salt and butter pieces/ drops over the topping. 

Now , its time to add my favourite layer .... The cheesy wheesy layer. Add the Grated cheese all over the base. Keep the pizza in oven for 10-12 mins and check. The time may differ a bit as per your oven. 


But guyz make sure you keep an eye on the oven constantly after 7-8 minutes, the moment you see browning of the ends of base and layer of cheese. Do check the base by poking a knife or fork in the side of the base.




If you feel it is perfectly done as per your oven. Bring the pizza out of the oven , bring out in a plate and serve it with cold drinks and ketchup....  




Enjoy a home-made pizza with your favourite movie or TV show. I will also post pizza on tawa soon but in that base will be ready made (bought from shop). It will be mainly for my non-oven holder friends :) or when there is no electricity and your lil kid is having strong urge to eat PIZZA.....
