Thin crust pizza


Pizza needs no definition... The round shaped tasty thing in a square shaped box is almost everyone's choice.

But there is one question every time.
Can we make restaurant type pizzas at home.. And my answer to your question is yes ofcourse.
Thin crust pizza with freshly made dough tastes out of the world.


Ingredients: 

For base:
Maida ( all purpose flour) : 3 cups
Dry Yeast: 1 spoon 
Water: 1 glass 
Sugar: 1/2 spoon 
Salt: to taste 

For pizza:

Veggies for topping 
( green, red & yellow capsicum 
Blanched baby corn, sweet corn )

Method: 

For dough:

Take 1 spoon dry yeast in a bowl,  1/2 spoon sugar & pinch of salt. Add 1 glass warm water to the bowl and keep the bowl in dark hot place for atleast 15 mins  to activate. 

Take 3 cup maida( all purpose flour) in a bowl. Add the activated yeast and salt .
Add more water if required. Make a soft dough.
Fold the side of dough downside and grease with oil. Cover it with a wet cloth and keep the dough to ferment for atleast  4 to 5 hours. 

The dough will become almost double of its size. Take the dough out of the bowl and punch it with your hands.

For pizza: 
Take a portion of dough and with help of rolling pin make a round shape roti out of it. Keep dusting with flour, it will become easy to make . 
Heat the pan. Grease it with oil and place the roti to the pan. Cover the pan with a lid for 1 minute.


Turn the pizza base around and spread pizza sauce on the base . Put some mozzarella cheese & top the pizza with veggies given above. You can add any topping of your choice. Add graded cheese on the pizza. Season it with oregano, chilly flakes & salt 
Let the pizza cook for 4 mins on medium flame. 

When the Cheese melts. Your pizza is ready to be served.
