Some Interesting Information about Pizza
Pizza is an Italian food that usually has a flat base made from raised wheat dough.
It is topped with onion, tomato, cheese, oregano, and various other ingredients, then baked at a high temperature, often in a wood-fired oven.
Italy offers many types of pizza. Neapolitan pizza, from Naples, is made with buffalo mozzarella cheese.
Roman pizza often skips tomatoes and includes onions and olives instead.
The Italian community in New York City played a key role in making pizza popular in the United States.
The first pizzeria opened in 1905. After World War II, the pizza business grew rapidly.
Many Americans enjoy traditional toppings like sausage, bacon, ground beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, and peppers.
Different areas of the country have their own styles of pizza.
Some toppings need to be cooked before putting them on a pizza because they won't cook all the way through while the pizza bakes.
Raw meat must be cooked completely before adding it as a topping.
Vegetables like onions, bell peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms should be sautéed first if you don't want them to be raw on the fully cooked pizza.
Many think making pizza at home is very tough. But it is not like that.
We can make pizza with lesser effects, that too with our favourite toppings and flavours of our choice.

| Pizza Sauce |

- Then, add the tomatoes, onion, and Kashmiri red chillies to the boiling water. Allow everything to boil for 2 minutes.
- Now, turn off the stove and remove all the ingredients. Let them cool down completely.
- After that, remove the skin from the tomatoes completely and take out the seeds of the Kashmiri red chillies.
- Then, place the peeled tomatoes, onion, and deseeded Kashmiri red chillies into a blender and blend them until they become soft.
- Next, place a pan on the stove and turn on the heat. Pour some oil into the pan and let it warm up.
- When the oil is hot, add the finely crushed garlic and sauté it.
- Now pour the tomato mixture into the pan and sauté it.
- Next, mix in the sugar, vinegar, and pepper powder into the tomato mixture and sauté them nicely. Boil the mixture until it becomes thick.
- After that, add in the tomato ketchup, basil powder, oregano, and Italian seasoning into the sauce and sauté them.
- Let them boil for 2 minutes. The sauce should not be either watery or very thick.
- Once the sauce reached the correct consistency, we can turn off the stove.

Procedure for Making Chicken Pizza
- First, we have to start making the pizza base or pizza crust.
- We can also buy the pizza base from the store and use it if you are not able to do it at home.
- For making pizza base, first take a wide mixing bowl and add maida, curd, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and 2 spoons of oil into it.
- Mix everything nicely and make a soft dough out of it. We have to knead the dough continuously for 5 minutes to make it so soft.

- After kneading, rub some oil on top of it and set it aside. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, you can cut all the vegetables for toppings of your choice in the shape you want.

- Today, I am going to use onion, bell pepper (capsicum), tomatoes, corn, and chicken as toppings.
- After 15 minutes, sprinkle some maida on the dough. Knead the dough once again and divide it into two big balls to make two 10-inch pizza bases.
- Take a piece of the dough and place it in a frying pan. Spread it out evenly, making it a bit thicker. It shouldn't be too thin.

- Grab a fork and poke some holes in the dough. Then, heat up the stove and place the dough on a pan, spraying a bit of oil on it.

Final Steps for Making Chicken Pizza

 |
| Making chicken pizza step 6 |
- You can sauté the vegetables if you want to use them that way. I prefer crunchy, so I use raw vegetables as toppings.
- After that, add a handful of mozzarella cheese over the vegetables and chicken. Then, sprinkle some Italian seasoning, oregano, and chilli flakes on top.
 |
| Making chicken pizza step 7 |
- Next, we will cook the pizza without using an oven. Move the pizza from the plate to a frying pan.
- Put a dosa tawa on the stove and turn on the heat. Set the frying pan on the dosa tawa.
- Now, cover the frying pan tightly and let the pizza cook. It's important not to place the frying pan directly on the stove.
- Cooking it on the dosa tawa will help the heat spread evenly, ensuring the pizza base cooks well without burning.
- Bake the pizza on medium heat for about 12 to 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, check if the pizza is done. The cheese should be melted, and the pizza should be cooked well.
