Pizza for dinner is the easiest I would say, and

with freshly plucked basil leaves is my

favourite.

This time I decided to make the topping with

raw green tomato,green capsicum,and

basil,and it really turned out great.

Now ,I’m going to share with you the easiest

method of preparing this pizza.

INGREDIENTS

6-8 raw tomatoes

1-2 green capsicum

10-12 garlic cloves

1 tblsp olive oil or sesame oil

salt to taste.

1 tblsp.sugar

METHOD

Put all the ingredients in a pressure cooker ( no

need to cut the vegetables) and cook for

two whistles on a slow fire.

Release steam,and  puree to a thick paste.

Cook again  till thick  and set aside

For the dough

250 gm wheat flour

250 gm white flour

2 tsp.dry yeast

1 egg

1 tblsp oil/butter

salt

2 tsp sugar ( brown /white)

enough warm water to make the dough.

METHOD

Activate the yeast  by sprinkling yeast and

sugar  in half cup water and set aside till

foamy.

Put all the ingredients together  and knead to a

firm dough  and allow to rise

(If using mixer do use the dough hook and  run the machine for 15 minutes .Allow to rise in a warm place covered for 20-30 minutes).Divide into portions and allow to rise again for another 10 minutes)

Seasoning 

Mozzarella cheese,basil leaves,grated cottage cheese (optional),chilli flakes (optional)

Preparing to bake

Roll out into circles ,and place in baking trays.

Pour a ladle of the tomato puree and spread on

the unbaked dough.

Sprinkle the cheese and basil leaves and bake

in a hot oven (200-210 C) for 16 minutes .

You can serve with chilli flakes ,if you like.

This is a quick ,and easy dish .I made all this

within an hour.It was crispy ,light,tangy.

Good to serve anytime.Got a thumbs up from

my family,so do try and let me know your
