Peeenzaaaaaaaaaaa!

Well, that's what my now three year old calls a pizza! She's a picky eater...very difficult to please little girl! Of late, she chants "peenza" every time she sees a pizza delivery boy in the apartment complex...so the other day, we tried to make them at home...I must say, they were way above the store bought ones in terms of quantity and taste...altho' I'm not really sure if the pizza base that we make is the authentic one...This recipe was passed onto my mom from my aunt!

Ingredients:

Pizza Base:
1. All purpose flour (maida) - 2 cups
2. Wheat flour (atta) - 2 cups
3. Eggs - 3
4. Yeast - approx 1 tsp,  proofed in warm milk (about 1/4 cup) and sugar
5. Oil - 1/2 cup
6. Salt - To taste

Mix all the above and knead well. The more you knead, the better your dough will turn out to be.Cover and  leave the dough to rise. Knead again after about 2-3 hours. The dough rises in about 5-6 hrs. It should ideally rise to about double the original. Knead again just before use.

Toppings:
I use just about any vegetable/meat that I can lay my hands on.
This particular time, I used the following -
1. Capsicum - 1 cut into slices
2. Tomato - 1 cut into slices

3. Onion - 1 cut into slices
4. Baby corn - 10, halved
5. Sweet corn - about 1/4 cup
6. Chicken Sausage - about 1/4 cup
7. Grilled Chicken -cut thinly, about 1/4 cup
8. Pizza Sauce - 2 tbsp
9. Mozzarella cheese - 1 cup

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 220 degrees before you start arranging your pizza :)
2. Bring out your pizza tray and lightly oil it.
3. In your pizza tray, roll out the base using your hands (you can chose to make your crust thin or thick, depending on how you like your pizza). My tray yields a family size pizza, which can be cut into 6 pcs.
4. Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the base.
5. Arrange the topping on the base depending on your sensibilities :)
6. Finally, top it all up generously with the mozarella.....
7. Pop into the oven and bake for approx 13-14 mins.
8. Once done, cut into slices and bite into a piece of bliss!
