Farmhouse Pizza Recipe

How much do you like pizza?
Pizza : IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TOPPINGS, primarily the sauce. Am I right?

Thin crust is more my scene, obviously because I can justify more pieces and thus more toppings. So I go with pizza base (without yeast) preparation.

Makes 2 pizza bases

Ingredients :

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (maida)
1 tsp oil
1 tsp dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
lukewarm water

Method :

With Yeast : 

1. Take a bowl, add yeast, salt, sugar and 1 to 2 tbsp of warm water and mix well. 
2. Set aside for 10 minutes till the yeast froths 
3. Sieve maida and baking powder and add to the yeast mixture 
4. Add little water and oil and knead to form a smooth dough 
5. Cover the dough with a lid and set aside till it doubles in size (approximately for 1 to 2 hours)
6. Knock down again and knead well 
7. The dough must be smooth and elastic
8. Divide it into 2 or 3 balls according to your choice and roll to form a circle of about 1/4" thickness
9. Place it on the baking tray, keep the tray in the middle shelf of a preheated oven and bake at 200 degree Celsius for 8 minutes
