INGREDIENTS

For Dough

• 3 cups All purpose flour
• 2 tsp active dry yeast
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• salt as per taste
• warm water
• 2-3 tsp oil

For Topping

• Pizza sauce (For pizza sauce recipe click here)
• vegetable (onion, capsicum, black or green olives, corn kernels, baby corn, broccoli, spinach or any other vegetables of your choice)
• 1/2 tsp red chilly powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 dried oregano
• 2-3 tsp oil or butter
• Salt as per taste

DIRECTION

Making the dough

• In a wide bowl take all purpose flour, dry yeast, sugar and salt, mix it well
• Make the dough using warm water
• Add oil and knead it again for 5 min till get a smooth dough
• Cover it and place it in a warm place for about 1-2 hrs
• It should be doubled in size

Preparing the topping

• Prepare the pizza sauce or you can use the ready made.
• Slice the vegetables, I have used onion, green and red capsicum, corn kernels, baby spinach and broccoli.
• This is optional step, you can avoid this, Saute the vegetables in oil and butter with black pepper, red chilly powder, oregano and salt. No need to cook, just saute for 1 min and keep aside

Assembling the pizza

• Preheat the oven at 200 degrees
• After 1-2 hrs, take pizza dough and knead it slightly, to make it even
• Take a portion of dough and roll it to make thick bread, you can flatten it with hand
• Spread pizza sauce on the pizza
• Sprinkle some cheese (Optional)
• Spread the vegetables
• Again sprinkle some cheese
• Bake it in the preheated oven for 15-20 min

Notes

• I have used Active dry yeast, which does not need to activate separately, read the instructions on the packet to activate the yeast
• If the weather is cold, take the hot water in a big bowl, keep the pizza dough in a container with lid, keep that container in hot water and cover the bowl. This will create warmness and dough will rise early.
