Steps¶
Common Prep Steps¶
- Add Olive Oil (1 tbsp) and sugar (1 tsp) in water (300 ml) and mix well.
- Take a bowl and add vital wheat gluten (1 cup).
- Add wheat bran (1/4 cup), oat flour (1/4 cup).
- Add flax meal (1/4 cup), Almond Flour (1/2 cup).
- Add baking powder (1 tsp), salt (1 tsp), dried yeast (7 gms(1 sachet)).
- Add liquid mix to dry mix and knead for 5 minutes.
- Once consolidated, place the dough on oiled baking sheet.
- Flatten it with hand at first and with roller pin later to bring it to about 14 inch diameter.
- If you want your pizza to be round then using a large round utensil as guide and knife or pizza cutter trim uneven sides to get a circular shape else just use the knife or pizza cutter to make a rectangular shape.
- Cover it with a slightly damp cloth and keep it aside to rise.
- Use the trimmed dough to make another ball of dough and flatten it first with hand and then with roller pin to a size of roughly 8 to 10 inch.
- Let the two items rise for a 40-60 minutes though leaving for about 2 hrs gets better results.
Garlic Bread¶
- Take the smaller base and Using a fork pierce the base equidistantly.
- In a microwaveable bowl take salted butter (30 gms).
- Using a grater, grate Garlic (3-4 cloves(Large)) into the microwaveable bowl.
- Place the microwaveable bowl into microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- Using an oil brush or spatula spread the melted butter and Garlic onto the smaller pierced base.
- Put this into the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes.
- Take it out after that and cut it into rectangular pieces using pizza cutter.
Pizza Toppings¶
- While any topping can be used, I started by cutting Yellow Capsicum (35 gms(1/3)) with knife.
- Then cut Brown chestnut mushrooms (30 gms(3-4)), onion (50 gms(1/2)) and canned pineapple (50 gms(1 ring)) using knife and keep them separately for later use.
- Cut Paneer (125 gms) and put in a small bowl.
- Add virgin olive oil (2 tsp), tandoori masala (2 tsp), dried fenugreek leaves (2 tsp) and Pink Himalayan Salt (to taste) and mix well.
Pizza¶
- Take the larger base and spread evenly pasta sauce (3 tbsp) on it using spatula.
- Then spread a thin layer of grated mozzarella cheese (40 gms).
- Add all veggie pizza toppings as much as possible without piling up and arranged side to side.
- Then add paneer cubes, these can be piled on top of veggies, if there isn't enough space.
- Now spread evenly grated extra mature cheddar cheese (50 gms).
- Then add jalapenos (10 gms(8-10 rings)).
- Finally sprinkle some more grated mozzarella cheese (20 gms).
- Put this into the oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
- Take it out after that and cut it using pizza cutter.
