Instructions
- For Pizza Base :
- Combine plain flour, yeast, sugar, salt in a large bowl. Add oil & mix it well. Add warm water (IT SHOULD BE WARM NOT HOT) & make soft dough. Turn the dough out onto floured surface; knead it for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Add extra flour as needed to keep from sticking to hands and surface.
- Place the dough in a large bowl greased with oil. Cover the bowl with towel or in a big plastic bag & let it rise in warm place for about 45-50 minutes.
- For pizza Sauce : Blanch tomatoes in boiling water for 5 mins on slow flame, peel & chop. Grind the chopped tomatoes with garlic paste & chopped onion till it become paste.
- In a pan add butter, add tomato paste(which we make now), chilli powder, salt, sugar, oregano or dry herbs, tomato ketchup and cook till it becomes thick.
- Chicken Tikka topping : Cut the chicken into small pieces, clean & wash it. Marinate the chicken in ginger paste, garlic paste ,green chilli paste, curd, tandoori masala, tandoori colour ,salt ,lemon juice for 30 mins.
- Heat butter in pan, cook chicken till tender & dry.
- After 50 mins dough should be double in bulk. Punch down the dough & divide into 2 parts and shape to fit a lightly greased pizza pan of medium size which has been greased with butter. Prick it with fork.
- Apply the pizza sauce. , spread the shredded mozzarella cheese; fill your favourite fillings and topping. This is my 1st pizza of homemade pizza base so I used little toppings.
- I used only pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and shredded tandoori chicken.
- Pre heat the oven @ 200 degree for 15 mins
- Bake it for 20 mins at 200 deg.
- Tip : 1st marinate the chicken & then make the dough. so by the time dough is resting you prepare the pizza sauce & after that cook the chicken.
- Njoy :)
