Pizza - No Yeast

My very first attempt at making Pizza was quite exciting  and  quite nerve racking too. But I can say with a smile that all my effort at making pizza was very well worth the effort and something I will certainly love to do again. I wish I had tried this much sooner. Well it is never too late to learn something new :-) Anyway here goes my very first attempt at making pizza..


My very first Pizza !!!!!

Pizza Dough
yogurt - 1/4 cup
all purpose flour - 2 cups
water - 1/2 cup
baking powder - 1/2  tsp
baking soda - 1/4 tsp
salt - 1/2 tsp
sugar - 1 tsp
oil - 2  tbsp

Pizza Sauce
onions - 1/4 cup finely chopped
garlic - 3 cloves
tomatoes -5(blanched)- make puree of 3 blanched tomatoes and chop remaining finely.
tomato ketchup - 1 pkt
hot and sweet tomato sauce - 2 tbsp
oregano - 1 tsp
basil - 1 tsp
chilli flakes - 1/2 tsp
chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
salt - per taste
sugar - 1 tsp

Recipe
1. For the dough - Add yogurt in a bowl, add in sugar,baking powder, baking soda, salt,oil and mix        well until frothy. Now add in the flour and mix well to a crumbly texture. Add water and knead to a smooth dough. (Tip: This step is critical. You can add couple more spoons of water to make it even more of a smooth to a sticky dough). But I went with 1/2 cup and it just turned out fine. Grease dough with oil and rest the dough for 30 min.

2. For the sauce - Heat oil in a pan, add in the onions, garlic and saute well. Add chopped tomatoes. Saute well. Add the puree, ketchup, hot and sweet tomato sauce, all the aromatics and saute really well. Your pizza sauce should be ready.

3. Time for Pizza - Roll out your dough nice and round , then prick the rolled out dough all around and then transfer to a baking sheet(mine is a rectangular baking sheet ) ,spread your pizza sauce, top with your favorite cheese(I used Mexican), add your favorite toppings(I used onions and  jalapeno)and fold your dough at the edges to resemble a folded crust, and bake your pizza at 425 for about 8 - 12 min or until your  crust is firm.
