Make Pizza

Pizza is one of the most popular dishes around the world. It is generally a flat round bread which isoven-baked and covered with tomatoes or a tomato-based sauce and mozzarella cheese. Toppings arealso added depending on the region, culture or personal preference. In this article, we will be learning

how to make a pizza at home.

The basic steps in pizza making are first preparing dough, then pizza sauce. After that, cheese andtoppings are added according to taste and then the pizza is baked in an oven. This seems to be simplewhile reading but preparing a good mouth watering pizza at home drains in a lot of hard work.However, you will be able to make pizza at home easily using this step-by-step guide.

Let's start from the scratch.

Making Pizza Dough

Dough making has been known to humans since ages now, but mastering the art to make perfectpizza dough can be a bit cumbersome sometimes. At home, Pizza dough is prepared by hands, nospecial machinery is required. However to prepare hand-made dough you will need to have a largemixing bowl, a measuring cup, measuring spoons, a large whisk or wooden mixing spoon and somekitchen film before you start. It will be better if you also keep a small hand towel ready before startingthe process.

Ingredients:

1 - 1/4 Oz Envelope - Active dry yeast, (or 2 1/4 Tsp)1 1/2 Cups - Warm water (110F - 115F)4 Cups - Bread flour1 1/2 Tsp. - Salt2 Tbsp. - Extra virgin olive oil1 Tbsp. - Sugar

Extra flourExtra olive oil

Process

Pour the warm water in a large mixing bowl, then add the sugar and dissolve it. Next, dissolve theyeast by stirring continuously after addition. Allow the mixture to settle down for 10 minutes or extraso that the yeast becomes active.

Now add the yeast and olive oil, when the appearance of the mixture becomes foamy and cloudy atthe surface. Dissolve it continuous stirring. Then add 3 cups of flour to the mixture one-by-one andwhisk in until dissolved completely. Make sure the mixture is completely smooth. Use your hands to

combine the dough until all of the dry flour has moistened into a mass.

When the flour has absorbed all of the moisture and congealed into a firm mass, remove it from thebowl to a floured tabletop to knead it. Fold it in half again and push it into itself, again and again forperhaps 10 to 12 minutes or so, or about 200 cycles. It is very important that the dough is very wellkneaded.

After kneading is complete, when dough transforms into a silky, smoothly-textured ball, coat thedough ball with a thin layer of olive oil. After that place it in the bottom of a large mixing bowl thathas also been coated on the inside with olive oil.

Now comes the step on panning the prepared pizza dough. One of the most demanding of the pizzamaker's many challenges is getting the raw pizza dough ball into a pizza pan. The panning of pizzacan be done by various methods as per your convenience. The popular methods are Pizza doughsheeting, pizza dough pressing, hand tossing pizza dough- do it only if you don't get hazy whencatching, hand pressing pizza dough, and last is pin rolling pizza dough.

Making Pizza Sauce

Normally at home, we recommend using tomato sauce only which is lightly herbed with oregano andbasil. Some pizza lovers prefer to have even simpler sauce than this, however tomato sauce is thesimplest to prepare at home.

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp. - Butter16 Oz. - Can of tomato puree

3 Tbsp. - Olive Oil1 Tsp. - Salt3 Cloves - Garlic, minced1/4 Tsp. - Black Pepper3 Large - Yellow onions, minced1 Tsp. - Whole oregano2 Qts. - Canned whole Italian tomatoes1 Tsp. - Whole basil

Process

Melt the butter with olive oil in an oven or large skillet. Now slowly but completely saut the garlic andonion. Then add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and puree. Boil it.

Cover the mixture and let it bubble for two hours. In between, stir it occasionally. Crush the tomatoeswith the masher. Continue the process till the sauce reaches the consistency of a soup.Set the sauce aside to cool before applying it to your pizza dough, or, or refrigerate it for use in thefuture.

Pizza Topping

Ladle about 7 to 8 oz. of pizza sauce into the middle, bottom of the dough shell. Spread the sauceevenly over the surface of the dough sheet. Spoon the sauce out to the edge of the dough sheet.Leave a small margin on the outer-side of the dough sheet, which allows the crust to rise and crisp

more quickly than the covered dough; creating the classic, puffed up edge of the pizza.Now create a layer of the shredded cheese over the sauce. Shred about two cups of cheese. Arrangeyour toppings over this layer of cheese.

Add toppings according to your preference.

Baking the Pizza


3/30

Preheat your oven up-to the temperature of 450 F for about 10 to 15 minutes. When preheating isdone, place a prepped pizza in the oven at the centre. Place the pan in the oven such as there ismaximum circulation of air around the pan. The baking will take about 10-15 minutes at thattemperature.

Signs to look for that the pizza is ready are:

1) The cheese has melted on top and is beginning to brown.2) The crust edge has browned, from a medium to a golden brown.3) Now carefully lift the edge of the pizza to inspect its bottom, it should be evenly brown.

If these signs are evident, your pizza's done! Thus now you are ready to throw regular pizza parties ofyour home made pizza to your friends and family.

Pizza - all home madeI get huge number of question from khanakhazana readers about

making Pizza at home. Buying a pre-fabricated pizza base from the

market is not my idea of cooking either. Hey, if you want to get 1/2 of

the Pizza from outside, why all the fuss, go ahead and just order

delivery.But, if you are one of those who spends some quality time in your

kitchen, this is for you! One more thing, I think there are at least a

million different varieties of pizza and pizza crust out there. So, it is an

absolute delight to personalize your pizza, just the way you want it. Be

creative, let it flow

I will share a basic dough method. It is easiest to make in a food

processor or bread maker. However, go ahead and make it by hand.

There's just a lot of mixing and kneading that way, but then you bond with your food, don't you?. Feel free to add

ingredients to the dough to make it more interesting. I've often added chopped garlic, Dill () and coriander

leaves ().

What you need:3 cup flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup warm water

1 package dry yeast2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

3/4 cup water

Combine salt and flour. Dissolve the yeast in warm water; let sit for10 minutes. Water should still be warm when you add the oil, honey,

water, and yeast mixture to the flour.

The dough should turn into a ball. If the dough does not ball up

because it's too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it does. Ifyour mixture is more like a batter, add flour one tablespoon at a time.

Adding water or flour as needed to get the right consistency will

assure you always get a perfect dough. Just remember to do it in smallamounts.

Place the dough ball on a floured board and knead for about a minute.

This builds the gluten which helps the dough to rise and become fluffywhen cooked.

Put the dough in a plastic grocery bag or a covered bowl and store in a

warm, dry area to rise.


4/30

After about 45 minutes the dough should have about doubled in size.

Show it who's boss and punch it down. That's right, give it a good

smack so it deflates. Let it rise for another hour to an hour and a half.The dough is now ready to be rolled out. You can punch the dough

down one more time if you want and wait another hour or two before

rolling out. The choice is yours.

One mistake most people make when working with dough is not usingenough muscle. I tell people that is actually an opportunity for a niceexercise of your hands. You can't really damage the dough so don't be

afraid. When working with dough, use plenty of flour, but don't let it

get too dry. It should be fun to work with, not too sticky and not toocrumbly.

Using both hands, one on top of the other, press from the center

outwards on it to start stretching it out, turning the dough a bit on eachpush. You can also pick up the dough and squeeze the edges of it

while turning it like a steering wheel. This allows the weight of the

dough to stretch it. Once the dough is about 1/2" thick all the way

around, use a rolling pin to flatten it out to about 1/4" thick and makeit even.

Take a fork and put puncture holes all over the dough. This keeps it

from bubbling up while cooking and it also helps to hold the sauce onas well.

Phew! now you are almost there. All you need to do now is to spread

the sauce, add cheese and your choice of toppings, and bake at 400 F

till the crust is golden.

2. Arrange the toppings as desired and add the grated cheese to cover the toppings.

3. Lastly to make it Indian,I sprinkled the masala powders.Drizzle with little olive oil

on top.

TO BAKE:

1. Grease a pizza pan,with olive oil and transfer the prepared pizza to it,I dont have

any pan so I just lined my tray in the oven (combination oven,I used the convection mode

SWEET POTATO BUNS / ROLLS AND ANNOUNCING AN EVENT!!

I had a lone sweet potato after making some other recipe and was thinking what to make with

it. Then saw this Sweet Potato Buns recipe in a cookbook I took from the library (The Best Veggie

Burgers On The Planet by Joni Marie Newman). I was more than happy to try it out. And I always

wanted to experiment buns with longer kneading time, as my previous attempts has no much

kneading time.

I was just amazed with the result of this buns,they were smooth,soft outside and the pores

were very fine and spongy inside. I was thrilled and could not wait to taste the buns as I saw them

raising,with smooth top inside the oven while it was getting baked! And more than anything my

hubby tasted and approved it was tasting good(he is not a big fan of yeasted breads/buns). My kid

also had it happily after he returned from the School.

minutes,until smooth and elastic.

Soft,slightly sweet buns are ready to enjoy! Have it for your breakfast or dinner with butter,jam

with a cup of your favourite beverage!

Notes

If your yeast mixture doesn't raise in step 2 then your yeast is not active,

please do not attempt making the buns. You may not get it right.

Kneading the dough is the main key to get softest buns that takes to a

whole new level.

You can replace oil with melted butter as well.

For vegan version, use agave nectar in place of honey and soy milk in place

of milk and oil in place of butter.

8. By now/after an hour, the dough we prepared would have doubled in size. Take it

again and just give it a gentle knead and make six equal sized balls.

9. Line a baking tray with aluminium foil,grease with olive oil and arrange the rolled

balls with enough spacing between them. Brush with olive oil .

10. Meanwhile roll the stuffing after cooling down completely.The stuffing should be

around half the size as we roll the buns.

13. Keep the rolled stuffing inside and pinch all the end towards centre to cover the

stuffing.

14. Roll in to smooth bun. Repeat for every bun. Arrange them in the lined baking tray.

Notes:

You can use the stuffing of your choice,use yourimagination and adjust according to your taste!

I have measure everything properly and tried my bestto give the exact measurement.Just adjust the water quantityalone if you feel the dough is very stiff. The dough should be soft and pliable,not stiff. The Yeast is very important factor,let it be active andfresh,otherwise the whole recipe is flop. I have shown thepictures how the dough is doubled,so if yours is not raisingproperly then you can know that your yeast is not active.

Pizza has its origins in Italy and now well known and loved all across the world, including India in recent

years. Pizzas make a rich, tasty and mouth-watering meal or evening snack. The Vegetarian Pizza recipe

I have provided here helps you to prepare Pizza any time at home without ordering one from Pizza Hut or

Dominos, provided you have the Pizza base ready with you (purchased or if you kno w how to prepare

one with dough, its really great). If you are interested in putting some effort into preparing Pizza base on

your own at home, seeHow to Make Perfect Pizza Doughor you can check my good friend Sonias Pizza

dough instructions inVeggie Delight Pizza recipein her blog Seven Spice.

Advantage of preparing Pizza at home is that you can choose toppings of your own choice, the cheese

spread of your choice, vegetable masala spread which is just as spicy and yummy as you need. You do

not need to pay a big price for those tiny toppings choice offered by Pizza giants. If you purchase Pizza

base from the retail store, preparing Vegetarian Pizza is quick and easy as you can see below. It requires

just about 20 minutes of your time, perhaps much less than the time it takes to drive to a Pizza Hut or

Dominos, order and then wait for order to be fulfilled.

For the Vegetarian Pizza described here, I have used Onions and Capsicum toppings only. Of course,

nothing stops you from adding other soft vegetables like Tomatoes, Sweet Corn, Baby Corn, Olives and

fruits like Pineapple pieces, milk products like Paneer or Tofu pieces. But I must admit that I really love to

have Vegetarian Pizza from Pizza Hut and Papa Johns. For my pleasure, Pizza Hut has come out with

numerous varieties of Vegetarian Pizzas here in India with tongue-catching names like Country Feast,

Paneer EL Rancho, Exotica, Kadai Paneer, Spicy Veggie, Veggie Crunch etc. along with the popular

Veggie Lovers Pizza. If you are one among those who frequent Pizza Hut or other Pizza outlets, do drop

a comment letting me know your favorite choice for Vegetarian Pizza in their menu. Myself and perhaps

other readers would love to try it.

How to make Vegetarian Pizza:

1. Chop the Onion and Capsicum into small pieces. Keep aside.

2. Take a readymade Pizza Base and smear with butter (spread butter) all over the base as shown below.

Keep aside.

Spreading Butter on the Pizza Base

3. Heat Oil (1/2 Tbsp) + Butter (1 Tbsp) in a pan, add chopped Onions and fry for 2-3 minutes or until the

Onions start to look transparent. Now add Ginger Garlic Paste (available in the store) and fry for a minute.

4. Now add Capsicum to the frying pan and cook the same for 5 minutes making sure that the Capsicum

does not turn too soft (do not overcook Capsicum). Now add Tomato Puree and cook for 2-3 minutes or

until the liquid content is mixed well with Capsicum and Onions.

5. Then add Oregano, Tandoori Color (optional) and Dry Basil (optional) and ensure that these mix wellwith the other ingredients in the pan.

6. Now add Salt, Pepper Powder, Red Chilli Powder and saute for 2 min. Finally add Tomato Sauce and

cook for 5 minutes and mix everything well with other ingredients. Now the top layer for the Pizza, i.e., the

vegetable spread is ready. As you can see in the image, the preparation looks rich and spicy.

Vegetable Spread and Cheese on the Pizza Base

8. Take the butter smeared Pizza Base from Step 2 above, spread the entire vegetable mixture/masala

spread from Step 6 above.

9. Sprinkle grated Mozzarella Cheese and place this ready to cook Pizza on a crust plate for baking.

Instead of using a crust plate, you can keep this Vegetarian Pizza base directly on a grill stand and grill it

for 4-6 minutes or until the Cheese melts and spreads all over the Pizza base.
