My first receipe on the blog is Pizza. I am sure most of you would have had lots of varieties of pizza. I learned to make pizza at home around 2 yrs back. The first time, like with most receipes.. the pizza didnt turn out perfectly. It was edible but something was lacking. I have tried time and again to perfect the pizza and now it comes out very well. I love not only the output but each and every step towards making the yummy pizza. So, here's my receipe..
Ingredients :
1 1/2 cups Whole wheat Flour
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1 tbsp dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
3/4 cup Warm Water
1 cup Assorted Veggies( I use tomatoes, Onions, Capsicum - all cut length-wise)
Olives, Pineapple ... anything else you can think of.
Method :
* In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and set it aside for 5 minutes.
* In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and add the yeast mixture. Mix it well to blend.
* Knead for 10 minutes until flour is well blended.
* Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
* Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
* Divide the dough into two balls equally.
* Roll it out gently using flour for dusting into a thick circle.
* Prick on top with fork in many places.(This helps the dough not to puff up while baking)

* Arrange the pizza crust on a greased pan and bake for 12 minutes.
* Let it cool for 5 minutes.
* Spread pizza sauce on top of the crust - arrange the toppings and sprinkle cheese generously on top.
* Return to the oven for 12 to 15 mins or until chees bubbles and the edges of the crust are brown.
* Cut the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
Making Pizza Sauce:
I make my own pizza sauce, as I prefer a spicy one. This is how I make it:
1 tsp aniseed
1 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cups tomatoes, crushed or diced finely.
6 cloves garlic
1 tsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
salt to taste
* Pour a little oil in a pan and fry the aniseeds. Add onions,garlic and fry till it turns color. Add the tomatoes and all the powders. Cook till its well blended and the mixture becomes thick like a sauce. Sprinkle salt and mix well.
Variation
My kids prefer a Extra cheese pizza with only tomatoes.. Here are some of the pictures of their own Small Pizza.
