This used to be a frequent dinner dish at hour home. Once
children left for studies, it became rarer, one reason being our dinner now
consists of only a bowl of seasonal fruits. After so many years, I baked this
pizza on request of my daughter during her visit. Since I always note down the
recipes, it was not difficult to use correct proportion of the ingredients.
Ingredients:
For the base
-
4 ½ cups of refined flour (for four persons)
-
1 ½ tsps
of dried yeast
-
6 tbsps of milk
-
10 tbsps of water
-
Salt to taste
-
2 tbsps of ghee or oil
For the filling
-
10 big ripe tomatoes
-
3 Onions (or a bunch of spring onions) cut small
-
1 or 2 tsps of sugar (optional)
-
Salt to taste
-
2 tbsps of oil
-
1/3 tsp red chilli powder
-
¾ tsp garam masala powder
-
1 cup cut cabbage
-
4 capsicums deseeded and cut
-
2 cups sliced mushrooms
-
¾ cup deseeded, sliced olives
-
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
-
1 tsp oregano
Instructions:
Base
-
Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk, keep
covered for ten minutes.
-
Take the flour in a large bowl, add the salt to
one corner and oil on one side.
-
Make a well in the center, pour the yeast milk
mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon, starting from the center until the milk and
some of the flour form a fairly thick paste. Cover the bowl with a towel or
cling wrap and leave for 45 minutes.
-
After 45 minutes, slightly warm the water and
add to it. Knead well to soft dough and leave covered in a warm place for 45
minutes to let it double in size.
Tomato puree
-
Grate the tomatoes, discard the skins
-
Heat the oil in a thick bottomed vessel and
sauté the cut onions till they turn light brown.
-
Add the grated tomatoes, keep the flame low and
let it cook and thicken, while stirring occasionally.
-
When it is slightly thick, add salt, red chilli
powder and garam masala powder. Add the sugar if needed, to adjust the taste.
Sauté the cut vegetables (except
the olives) one by one and keep aside.
For baking
-
Roll the dough out, smear the baking dish with
oil, and place the base over it. Pierce with a fork or a tooth pick all over
its surface.
-
Spread the tomato puree evenly over it, then the
grated mozzarella cheese.
-
Spread the sautéed vegetables and sprinkle
oregano over it.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 150 degrees for 20
minutes, and then increase the temperature to 160 degrees for 5 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven, make wedges and serve!
