How to prepare?
The pizza base:
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
- Knead until well combined and gather into a ball.
- Cover the bowl with a plate and keep in a warm place. (Like your oven or a closed shelf)
- Let rise for 45 mins or until the dough doubles in size. <To knead it, i.e. to prepare the dough until this step I use a bread maker, since I have one. But frankly speaking it’s of very little use & is not required.>
- Scrape the dough off the bowl onto the work area with generously floured fingers, knead with your knuckles.
- Spread the dough onto a greased pizza pan.
- Cover it and keep in a warm place, let rise for 20 mins.
The pizza base:
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15mins.
The pizza:
- Apply pizza sauce & top it with desired veggies.
- Sprinkle grated cheese, salt & oregano powder.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15mins.
Top it with tomato sauce and chilly flakes. Yummy homemade pizza is ready to be served!
