Pizza Base

 Have made pizza 100s of times at home..but off course always buyed pizza base from shops,wanted to learn making pizza base so heres my first attempt,turned out to be really good.I always enjoyed baking cakes and cookies..but now this is something much more fun.made a simple cheese pizza with sauce and pepper on it :)





Heres the recipe-

Ingredients 
  • All purpose flour/Maida - 1 & 1/2 cups
  • Active dry yeast - 1 tbsp
  • Milk - 1/4 cup
  • Water - 1/4 cup
  • Sugar - 1/2 tblsp
  • Salt - 3/4 tsp
  • Olive oil - 2 tbsp

Method:
1.Boil the water first in and keep aside. the temp should not be very high or it kills yeast.it should be just a bit warm.Now add milk, oil, sugar, to boiled water and mix well till sugar dissolves. Now add yeast to the milk oil solution.
2.Mix a bit and keep aside for 15 mins . After sometime you can see the yeast completely dissolved.add flour.


3.After adding the flour, gather to get a smooth pilable dough. No need to knead completely just bring it together that is enough.Keep covered with a wet cloth till an hour or 2, preferably in a warm place for best results.i kept it in microwave.

4.When u check after an hr, the dough would have been raised .Now again punch it down incase for any air bubbles and then keep aside.

5.Grease a baking tray with aluminium foil . Keep the dough on the tray, Now roll the dough a little thick as 1 to 1.5 inches .

6.Preheat the oven for 190 degree Celsius(convention mode) and bake for 12- 15 mins,after it raises a bit.


7.now take the base out..i w ill seem soft..now add cheese . can add diff toppings i just made simple cheese one.as i was in mood to hav just cheese :)


8.Bake on convention mode for more 12-15 mins.check in between as its turns a bit golden brown.
i ts done.spread sauce and pepper.and Enjoy :)
