HOME MADE PIZZA

TOPPED WITH BABY CORN,PANEER,ONION,TOMATO,CAPSICUM.

FLAVORED WITH GARAM MASALA AND TANDOORI MASALA POWDERS.
               After I tried pizza base at home,last month,this is the second attempt I made and its been successful too I must say. My face book friends might have seen my first attempt pizza picture, and I wanted to post it in my blog too. So here I have come up with a (semi) Indian flavoured pizza,I dint took much effort to make it more of Indianized version,still I tried to make it a bit spicy and Indian flavoured. So for the Indianizing part,what I added is paneer and baby corn as topping just we get in Chennai and I sprinkled garam masala and tandoori masala over the toppings… And the result is a yummy Pizza,which my kid enjoyed a lot as it had the paneer and the baby corn,his favourite and of course pizza his favourite,so its a double treat for him!
pizza!
I just followed the base recipe and method of Raaga-The singing chef , the recipe is a keeper! Right from the salt,everything is perfect measurement!
And If I could make,any one can make it :) So don’t be afraid to try it out yourself !

Ingredients for the dough:

All purpose flour/Maida 1& 1/2 cups
Active dry yeast 1 tblsp
Milk 1/4 cup
Water 1/4 cup
Sugar 1/2 tblsp
Salt 3/4 tsp
Olive oil 1/8 cup

Topping what i have used:

Pasta sauce(Have to use a pizza sauce spread,since I dont had,I used this) 1  1/2 tblsp
Onion 1/2
Tomato 1/2,Chopped, De-seeded.
Capsicum 1/2,chopped
Baby corn 2 nos.slit length wise
Paneer cubes 6- 10 cubes
Tandoori masala powder 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder 1/2 tsp
Any kind of cheese(I used mozzarella and parmesan) To cover the toppings.

pizza!

Method for Dough:

  1. Take a broad vessel,add oilive oil,sugar,salt and boil the water and add to it.Mix well to dissolve sugar and salt and then add the milk and yeast.
  2. Mix well to dissolve the yeast.
  3. Ingredients mixed together
  4. Add the flour and gather to get a smooth dough. No need to knead so much.
  5. Add flour Smooth dough
  6. Keep covered with a wet cloth till an hour.
  7. b4 after
  8. After an hour it will be doubled in size.
  9. double the size raised dough
  10. Again gather to make a smooth pliable dough,I dint fly the dough in air,just rolled using rolling pin (Adjust the thickness and roll out to a single base) and folded the ends as shown in the pictures.(You can prick the base with fork to make sure of getting cooked every where,but I forgot to do so,still mine got cooked fine)
  11. Flour the surface flatten to make round shape

To make it as a Pizza:

  1. Spread the sauce and sprinkle some cheese.(Optional to spread cheese at this stage)
  2. Spread sauce Spread cheese
  3. Arrange the toppings as desired and add the grated cheese to cover the toppings.
  4. Arrange topping cover with cheese
  5. Lastly to make it Indian,I sprinkled the masala powders.Drizzle with little olive oil on top.
  6. Sprinkle masala

To bake:

  1. Grease a pizza pan,with olive oil and transfer the prepared pizza to it,I dont have any pan so I just lined my tray in the oven (combination oven,I used the convection mode to bake ) with aluminium foil to bake the pizza :)
  2. Preheat the oven for 210 degree Celsius and bake for 12- 15 mins..,till the base and the cheese turns golden brown.
  3. In oven b4 baking After baking
  4. Cut the pizzas with pizza cutter/knife and make wedges and enjoy hot,spicy  and yummy pizza :)
  5. Sliced
Golden baked pizza,hot and Yum!!
I have recently only started baking and enjoy baking a lot now,so even if you are a beginner or new to baking,please don’t hesitate to try this one,its very easy,easier than our day to day cooking ;)
I am sending this to Global Kadai,event started by Cilantro and this month hosted by Laavi, from Home cook’s recipes-one of my favorite blogs :)

regards

gsal

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Hi Gajendra,
This is the first oven I am having,and I am not that much sure to suggest you one... Sorry about that...

Saumya said...

Hi Raks, Awesome recipe.. gonna try it out today....i have a doubt... Can we refrigerate the rest of the pizza dough jus like that or should we bake it and refrigerate?

RAKS KITCHEN said...

saumya,if you make a pizza smaller than this and you have got leftover dough or if you want to refrigerate you can,better you can roll out and freeze it,then when ever you need you can thaw and use ...I hav enot yet tried on my own ,still hope this will help..

uma shankar said...

Sangeetha Nambi said...

Soooooooo envy on u :( U got plenty of time to prepare such dishes. Lucky u r :) Keep Posting.

Neenu Praveen said...

very clean and appealing....

Bessie said...

Hi, I tried this yesterday and it came out really excellent.I rolled a very thin pizza base,topping with lots of healthy veges and it tasted yummy.will soon try all other baking recipes. Thanks

one great mistake i made was... i followed varehvah's style and used a chappati/dosa tawa to bake pizza in the oven.. Though the pizza came good, the handle of the tawa was burnt and broken to pieces at the end.

themustardseed said...

WOW!! this looks soo good!! Love the combination and addition of garam masala.

Chitra said...

nithya said...

Can we use silver foil in the oven? Mine is kenstar microwave oven. Pls. advise me.

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
Nithya, You can use silver foil if you bake the pizza in "convection mode". If in "microwave mode" then cannot..
