  • Baby Corn- Sliced
  • Zuccini- 1/2 sliced
  • Cheese of your choice
Procedure:
  • Take one full packet of Active dry yeast and add warm water to it
  • let it sit for 20-30 mins so that the yeast is really active and we can see the volume of the mixture double in quantity
  • Take 3 cups of All purpose flour in a big bowl and add couple of table spoons of olive oil and this yeast mixture and mix it well with a spoon or fork initially
  • sprinkle some flour on the board and start kenading this dough with hands for aound 15-20 mins, by adding little flour at a time onto the board
  • Now let this dough mixture sit for around 2-3 hrs, or till the dough raises, make sure that the dough raises atleast 3 times to its original volume
  • Now divide the Dough into parts, depending on the size of pizza youwant to make
  • Grease a cookie sheet(which I used) or a pizza stone and spread the dough ballon it evenly with a roller pin
  • It need not be in a perfect round shape,
  • Then add the pasta sauce or tomato sauce on the base of the pizza and start adding your own toppings, then finally add cheese(I made mine without any cheese at all , and it was perfect...unbeliveble right???)
  • preheat the oven for 10 mins at 375F and bake this pizza for 20-25 mins, or till the pizza crust start to turn golden brown from the sides
  • Cut the Pizza intlo slices when hot
  • Your Home made pizza is ready to eat!!!!
