13: i had planned to make the pizza the next day, so i wrapped the dough
tightly in a cling film and kept in the fridge. if you plan to make the pizza
right away then flatten the dough to a disk. then start rolling the dough.
14: the next morning i removed the pizza dough from the fridge and if you
compare the two pics, the dough was getting leavened even in the fridge.
15: defrosted at room tempeature for about 45 minutes before i started
making the pizza.
1: preheat the oven to 200 degress C. grease the baking pan with olive oil &
then dust it with maize flour/corn meal, semolina or flour.
2: take a large ball from the dough. i made three medium sized pizzas from
this dough. you can use the whole dough to make an extra large pizza or
even make two large pizzas.
3: flatten the dough into a disk. now on a floured surface with a rolling pin
roll the dough ball into a large round or oval shape of about 1/4 inch
thickness. roll the dough from the center towards the outer edges. you may
have to dust the surface with flour. the dough is extremely elastic. so be
careful while rolling the dough.
4: place the pizza base in the baking pan. be careful as the dough has so
much elasticity, it just stretches more when you place it. do this work of
placing very gently. brush the surface with olive oil.
5: spread the tomato pizza sauce on the pizza.
6: top up with the veggies and olives.
7: sprinkle generous amount of mozarella or pizza cheese.
8: baking time now.. bake the veg pizza in the oven for 10-15 minutes at
200 degrees C till the base becomes golden brown and the cheese on top
melts and gets browned.
9: pizza time. yay the pizza is ready and out of the oven.
