INSTRUCTIONS
In a mixing bowl or pan take 3 cups all purpose flour (maida), ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon sugar.
Add ½ teaspoon baking soda.Then add 1 teaspoon baking powder. mix very well. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add water in parts. Begin to mix first and then start to knead the dough.
Keep on kneading till you get a soft and smooth dough. Add water in parts. Knead at least for 10 to 12 minutes. The dough should become elastic and stretchable.
Take a portion and stretch it. It should not break. Rub some oil all over the dough and keep covered in a bowl. Allow the dough to leaven for 2 to 2:30 hours. After 2 hours, fingers in the dough and the depression should give away. Cover and keep aside before you start assembling the veg pizza
Marinating veggies:
1. Chop the veggies and take them in a bowl. You can use your choice of veggies. I have used onion, red bell pepper, capsicum, and tomatoes. The toppings are for 3 small sized pizzas.
Add ¼ teaspoon finely chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped basil leaves, ¼ teaspoon dried oregano. salt or add as required. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Mix very well and marinate the veggies for 15 to 20 minutes. Also grate the cheese and keep ready.
Take the veg pizza dough and divide it into equal parts.
Take one part and roll it well between your palms. Flatten and keep on the rolling board. Sprinkle some flour.
With a rolling pin, gently roll to a slightly thin round pizza. Roll to get a 0.3 to 0.5 cm thickness. Sprinkle some more flour if required while rolling.
Heat a pan and brush or spread some oil on it. Now gently place the pizza on the pan.
Keep the flame to a low or sim and cook the pizza.
When you see bubbles coming on it and the base has become golden, then flip.
Now quickly spread the pizza sauce on this cooked side of the pizza.
Sprinkle grated pizza cheese or mozzarella cheese. You can add cheese as required. top up pizza with the marinated veggies. while adding place the onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, chilli flakes, mix herbs first and then drizzle a bit of the marinated oil+juices mixture all over. Cover with a lid and let the veg pizza cook on a low flame or sim.
Cook pizza till the base becomes golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
