Weekend Pizza Baking
November 27, 2006 — Roopa
Pizzas are one of our favorite food. I had always had a desire for trying to bake pizza at home. At last i got the procedure from Cookingforengineers thanks to the great blog. The first time i tried the base was not so crispy. i baked another one with little varaition according to our taste.

3 cups Bread flour or all purpose flour
7 g of yeast
salt - 1 tsp
sugar - 2 tsp
1/2 to 1 cup milk
2 tbsp olive oil
tomato sauce - 2 tbsp
capsicum, onions, tomatoes
parmessean cheese - 1 cup
Italian herbs - 2 tsp
Prepare the doughby adding flour, yeast, salt , sugar and milk in a dough mixer using medium speed. Once the dough is done it should be rested in a warm place to rise up. I used the oven to rise for faster action. Heated the oven to 180 c switched off the oven and placed the dough to rise. After 30 minutes the dough had doubled it size i placed it in a plate and plate for another 30 minutes to rise.
spread oilve oil on the dough. Now the time comes to garnish with tomato sauce i used the italian pasta sauce, fresh tomatoes, capsicum, onions and finally spread the grated mozarella cheese. Garnish with some italian herbs. Now bake the pizza for around 35- 40 minutes until the crust is brown and chesse start to melt. Let it stand for 5 minutes the yummy pizza is ready.

second batch was a perfect base with delicious garlic chilli sauce
Pizza ready to serve
