I think pizza would be a favorite of everyone, be it kid or adult :) or an adult like me with a kid's like cravings. But whoever it is, we all love pizza. And to actually make it at home is pure bliss.
With your kind of toppings, sauce and cheese on top, yummmmmmm will be too small of a word for it.
I used to think making pizza from scratch will be too hard and too much work. But once I made it, there is no stopping me from making it again and again. I love it and my family loves it. So here it is, pizza at HOME. :)
Ingredients:
Pizza Dough
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup warm water
1 tsp yeast
1 tbsp unsalted butter - melted
Toppings: (you can have different topping combinations as per your taste)
Italian tomato sauce (this is very easy to make - but for this one I used store bought)
1/4 red bell pepper - cut in cubes
1/4 yellow bell pepper - cut in cubes
1/4 green bell pepper - cut in cubes
2 small tomatoes - cut in thin circular shaped slices
2 cups grates cheese (preferably mozzarella)
9-10 leaves of sweet basil
Spices
Salt
Grinded Black pepper
Recipe:
1. Take warm water(warm such that you can hold you finger in it for more than couple of seconds). Add yeast to it and set aside for 10 min.
2. Take dry ingredients(only take 2 cups flour in the beginning), mix them together and sieve to introduce air in it.
3. Mix butter, milk, yeast and dry ingredients together. Make it in a dough. I used a stand-mixer, but you can do it by hand also.
4. If you feel it is too sticky, add more flour.
5. Once dough is done, place it in a oiled bowl and cover it with cloth. Leave it for 1 hour or when doubled in size to rise.
6. Once it is risen, punch it down and let it rise for another 30 minutes when doubled in size.
(mid-way between 30 minutes time, place pizza stone in oven and start pre-heating your oven at 425 degree F)
7. Divide it in two equal sized dough.
8. Flour you counter top/table, place the bowls and roll them in circular pizza shape.
9. Once done, add layer of sauce, place all bell peppers and tomatoes on top.
10. Sprinkle cheese generously on top.
11. Place your pizza's on pizza base and set the timer for 30 minutes.
12. Once done, take it out, sprinkle basil leaves on top(I didn't have any at this time so didn't add it) and enjoy your pizza :)
