This pizza is made with wheat flour ,and no tomato sauce added .I just made a
tangy capsicum sweet sauce(red peppers only).You could add slices of tomato if you
like,or serve with tomato sauce if you like.We had it tomato free.Vegetables can be your
choice.Well,i added only cucumber and some thin green capsicum slices .
The preparation of the dough had a slight change(my twist).Let’s get into the recipe.
Ingredients for the dough
250 gms wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour (you can opt out if you like)
2 tblsp.milk powder or 1/2 cup warm milk
1 egg yolk
2 tsp.active yeast
3 tblsp.olive oil.
1 tblsp.sugar.
1/2 tp.baking soda.
1-2 tp.salt
curd to apply on dough.
Method
Mix in the yeast to 1/2 cup lukewarm water.Sprinkle sugar on top,cover and allow to
rise.Once you see active fermentation,add in to the flour with the rest of the ingredients
and bind to a soft dough.Apply curd on the dough .Cover and allow to double in size.
Once it has doubled roll out into pizza shapes you like.Place on greased trays,cover till
you make the sauce.
For the red pepper sauce
3-4 red capsicum cut and seeds removed.
1 inch ginger
4 pips garlic
1 tsp.chilli paste.
1 tsp.kashmiri chilli powder
2 tblsp.vinegar
3-4 tblsp.of jaggery or sugar(preferably brown)
salt to taste.
Method
Grind all the ingredients together .Cook on a slow flame till you get a thick saucy texture.
For the cheese sauce.
2 cups milk
2 tblsp cornflour
1 tsp.black pepper powder
1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated.
salt to taste
Method
Make a thick flowing paste with cornflour and milk.Heat the rest of the milk,simmer and
add the cornflour mixture preventing lumps.Next add the rest of the ingredients and
cook for 2-3 minutes.It will look like custard.Set aside.
For the topping
Thin slices of cucumber,green and yellow capsicum rings.
tomato slices (optional)
1 cup mozzarella cheese or plain cheese grated .(optional)
Assembling
Apply the prepared capsicum sauce on the prepared dough(if the dough has risen
up.punch it down flat.)Arrange the cucumber and capsicum slices.Drizzle the cheese
sauce.Add mozarella cheese and bake in a hot oven (200 degrees for 10 minutes per
pizza).
Pan pizza also can be made with this dough,as this dough has a nice texture (soft inside
and crispier on the crust.
Note: Olives and herbs can be added as per your choice.
Herbs can be added to the dough too.
