Ingredients
- 3 cup all purpose flour maida
- 1 cup semolina sooji
- 14 g instant dry yeast 2 sachet of yeast
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 cup water or more if needed
- some extra flour for dusting
- 1 cup pizza sauce i have used homemade pizza sauce
- 4 small tomato sliced
- 1.5 cup cheese shredded ( I have used mixed cheese - cheddar and mozarella).
- 1 tsp oil for greasing the bowl.
Instructions
- First we will activate the yeast. In a bowl take luke warm water. It should be around 40 C. Put sugar in it and mix well.
- Put the instant dry yeast in it and mix well. Cover and keep aside in a warm place for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
- After 10 minutes the yeast is nicely activated and is frothy.
- In a mixing bowl, take all purpose flour (maida), semolina (sooji), salt, 2 tbsp oil.
- Mix well.
- Pour the activated yeast mixture and mix well.
- Bring all the flour together using your hands. The flour will be sticky.
- Knead well stretching vertically and kneading back for 8-10 minutes. The mixture will be sticky then. If you want you can dust some flour and knead again. After some time the mixture will start leaving the surface and will together.
- Knead more till the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Add the remaining oil .
- Knead well till oil is nicely absorbed.
- Put the dough in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and keep it in a warm place for the dough to rise for 1 hour. (I keep the bowl in a microwave).
- After 1 hour the dough is doubled and risen well.
- Punch the flour with your fist. This helps to remove the air bubbles generated with the yeast.
- Divide the dough into 6 parts to make large pizza. You can divide the dough as per your choice to make small, medium or large pizza with thin or thick crust.
- Take a butter paper and take one ball and flatten it and with a help of rolling pin start to roll the pizza. (My son is rolling his own pizza).
- Roll the dough into a thin circle. ( I have made around 20 cm diameter). Prick the base with the help of fork.
- Now spread around 1/8 cup of pizza sauce on the pizza base.
- Top it evenly with sliced tomatoes and then sprinkle some cheese. Put the pizza along with the butter paper on a oven rack and bake at 200 C for 12-15 minutes or till the base is crispy and the cheese is melted.
- The homemade tomato and cheese pizza is ready to serve. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve.
- My son have sprinkle some more cheese before eating.
