Making pizza at home is a challenge and to perfect it one has to practice over and over again. I was no exception to this rule so I also tried to make my own pizza the hard way. My best critic is my son who happens to tell the faults and I try to improve it.
Basic ingredients to make the dough which happens to be the base for the pizza are
Ingredients
Maida 2 cup
olive oil 1tbsp
sugar 2 tsp
yeast 2tsp
salt 1tsp
warm water
METHOD
Put a 2 tsp of yeast in half a cup of warm water with sugar and wait for 5 minutes. Add it in 2cups maida and knead it , add salt and water and make a dough. Keep it aside .It will rise in three hours .If you want better result keep it in the refrigerator and can be used next day.
On top of the base comes the tomato spread
INGREDIENTS
Tomato 4 large
sugar 2tsp
oregano 1tsp
oil 3tsp
garlic chopped 6 cloves
Take a kadai put little oil add the chopped garlic and fry for 2 minutes add the ground tomato(beat the tomatoes in a mixer).Cover it and cook till it becomes thick and there is no water left, add sugar ,salt and oregano.
For the toppings

Preheat the electric oven for 10 minutes. Take the dough and make a round like a roti, the base can be prepared thin or thick as desired then put this in a greased tray and bake it in oven for 5 minutes. Take it out and flip it upside down in the greased tray. Prick it and spread the tomato spread over it. Grate the cheese and put on to the tomato spread. Add the toppings and on top, again add cheese and ground pepper and bake it in the oven for 20 minutes or till the cheese melts.
