INGREDIENTS:
- All Purpose Flour - 2 cups
- Dry Yeast - 2 1/4 tsp
- Salt - to taste
- Sugar - 2 tbsp
- Tomato - 3
- Garlic - 3- 5 cloves
- Onion - 2
- Kashmiri Chilli Powder - 2 tsp
- Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
- Gram Masala - 1/2 tsp
- Garlic Paste - 2 tsp
- Italian Seasoning - 2 tbsp
- Tomato Ketchup - 1/4 cup
- Chicken - 10 - 15 boneless pieces
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Oil
PREPARATION:
Pizza Dough:
The first step is to prepare the pizza dough. For that in a 3/4 cup of lukewarm water, add dry yeast, and 1/2 tbsp of sugar. Keep it for rest until it is fermented and forms frothy bubbles on top.
In a bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour/maida, add 3/4 tsp of salt, 1/2 tbsp of sugar, and the fermented yeast. Add water if necessary and knead it into a soft dough. Knead very well for at least 5 minutes for perfect pizza dough.
Grease the bowl with some oil and place the dough in it. Close using a plastic film or a wet cloth and place in a humid place for one hour for the dough to rise.
Pizza Sauce:
The next step is to prepare the pizza sauce. In a pan add 3 tbsp of oil and add the chopped garlic to it. Now add one small-sized sliced onion into small pieces and 3 tomatoes and saute well. Now add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder, 2 tbsp Italian seasoning, and cook for 20 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water and 1/4 cup of tomato ketchup and cook for another 5 minutes.
Once cooled, blend it into a smooth paste and the pizza sauce is ready.
Chicken Marination:
In a bowl add chicken, 1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder, pepper powder, salt, garam masala, and garlic paste. Marinate the chicken for about 15 to 20 minutes and fry in oil. You can marinate the chicken before making the pizza sauce so that you can save time. Shred the Chicken pieces and keep them aside.
For other toppings, you can add capsicums, onions, mushrooms, olives, jalapenos, and any other of your wish. I only had onions, so I tossed the diced onions in the oil I used for frying the chicken for about 2 minutes.
In a pizza pan, grease some oil and spread the batter with your hands into the pan. Make holes in the dough using a fork. Now spread the pizza sauce onto the dough. Now place a layer of mozzarella cheese on top of it. Now add the shredded chicken and onions on top. Finally, add another layer of cheese on top.
Bake in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes and the cheesy chicken pizza is ready.
Slice using a pizza cutter and serve to your loved ones. Comment on your pizza stories and let me know if you liked them.
