Home Made Pizza!!

Pizza Maniac?? Wish to prepare Pizza at home but did not know the recipe?
If you wish to prepare "Home Made Pizzas", here is the recipe:


Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour(maida),
2 cups warm water,
1 packet(2 teaspoons) of dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar,
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon salt,
2 Tbsp Olive oil,
1 cup Pizza sauce,
1 cup shredded cheese(mozzarella)


Method for preparing dough:
1>Add sugar and dry yeast to warm water and set it aside for 5 mins to allow it to bubble.
2>Add flour,salt,oil and the mixture(prepared in step 1) to the Food Processor. Mix the ingredients and prepare a soft dough.
If you do not possess a Food Processor,use your hand to knead the dough for 15-20 minutes.
3>Smear olive oil in a bowl and place the dough in it.
4>Roll the dough in that bowl for oil to be spread evenly.
5>Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep aside for 1 hour 30 mins in a warm place such that the dough doubles itself
6>Punch down the dough and divide the dough into 2 balls.
7>Keep the dough balls seperate bowls for 10 minutes.
8>Place the Pizza Stone and preheat the oven for 450 degrees for at least 30 minutes


Method for preparing Pizza Crust:
1>Take the dough and press and pat it to make a circular base about 10 -12 inches wide and thickness about 1/2 an inch.
2>Take a cutting board and sprinkle some "corn meal" on it. Transfer the Pizza base on it
3>Apply olive oil on the Pizza base.
4>Add 2-3 Tbsp of Pizza sauce, 1/3 cup of cheese and cut vegetables on the crust.
5>Again sprinkle some "Corn meal" on the Preheated Pizza Stone,place this pizza crust on it and bake for 15 minutes.
