We all enjoy eating pizza at home on any given occasion. But what goes into making this delectable dish? So, learn how to make a delicious pizza at home with this simple recipe that will guide you through detailed steps and some tips for preparing a pizza at home.

Ingredients Of Pizza

  • 2 cup all purpose flour
  • 100 ml tomato ketchup
  • 1 tomato
  • 2 onion
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 100 gm processed cheese
  • 4 mushroom
  • 1/2 capsicum (green pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon dry yeast
  • water as required

Step 1: Make the pizza dough.


Fill a dough-kneading plate halfway with all-purpose flour. After that, add the salt and baking powder and sieve the flour once. Then, in the center, make a well and add 1 teaspoon of oil. On the other hand, take a small amount of warm water and combine it with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix thoroughly and set aside for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, the yeast will rise. Once the yeast has risen, add it to the flour and knead the dough well with a little water. Set aside the dough for 4-6 hours. The dough should then be kneaded once more. The pizza dough is now ready.

Step 2: Make the pizza crust.


Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius. When the dough is ready, it’s time to make the pizza base. Dust the area with dry flour and take a large portion of the pizza dough. Roll the dough into a nice circular base with a rolling pin. (Keep in mind that the circular base must be even at all ends.) After you’ve made the base, prick it with a fork to ensure that it doesn’t rise and bakes evenly. Place it in a preheated oven for 10 minutes. Your pizza base is now ready.

Step 3: Prepare all of the vegetables for the pizza.


Wash the capsicum and thinly slice it in a bowl. In a separate bowl, peel the onions and cut thin slices of them. Finally, cut the tomatoes and mushrooms in the same way. However, make certain that the tomatoes contain less juice. Once all of the vegetables have been prepared, grate the processed and mozzarella cheeses into separate bowls.

Step 4: Arrange the sauce and vegetables on the bottom.


Then, take the fresh pizza base and cover it with tomato ketchup. Distribute half of the processed cheese evenly across the base, followed by the vegetables. After you’ve layered all of the vegetables, top with a thick layer of mozzarella cheese.

Step 5 Bake the pizza for 10 minutes at 250 degrees Celsius.


Place this pizza base on a baking sheet and bake it in the oven. Allow the pizza to bake for 10 minutes at 250°C. Remove the baking tray from the oven and slice the pizza. Serve immediately with oregano and chili flakes to taste. (Note: Make sure the oven is preheated to 250 degrees Celsius for at least 5 minutes.)

Tips
One of the most basic tips is to make sure the oven is preheated. If you’re using a regular oven, make sure it’s preheated to 280 degrees Celsius.

If you’re using a ready-made base, make sure it’s not too cold. Take it out at least half an hour before you begin making the pizza.

To make the base, stretch the dough rather than roll it. This means that if you’re making a fresh pizza base, the dough will be at room temperature and will stretch easily.

A pizza stone is the best way to make restaurant-style pizza because it helps the dough rise and makes it crisp. Take the plunge.

If you want to go the organic route with your pizza, use fresh tomato puree or paste. This will enhance the flavor of your pizza.
