Pan Pizza
This refers to a pizza cooked in a pan. Usually, pizzas are cooked in an oven but with this recipe, you can use the same pan you use for chapos for a pizza instead.
What you need for a Spicy Margherita pizza
NB: You can substitute the veggies with meat or chicken if you prefer. However, make sure to cook the meat separately until well done before adding it as toppings to your pizza.
Ingredients
For the base
-1 cup of self-rising flour
-1 tablespoon of salt
-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
-¾ cup of water
Sauce
-1 large red onion, finely chopped
-2tsp oil
-1 grated clove of garlic
-1 70gram pack of tomato paste
-1tsp salt
-½ tsp pepper
-½ tsp chilli flakes
-1tablespoon parmesan, grated
-1 finely grated green capsicum
Toppings
-Grated mozzarella
-A handful of washed basil
How to cook
Sauce
-Cook the sauce as you would a normal stew. In a small sufuria pour in the oil and add the finely chopped onions. Let the onions cook for a minute or two then add salt and grated garlic. Let the garlic brown before adding the tomato paste, pepper and chilli flakes. Allow the sauce to cook and thicken for a minute or two before adding the grated capsicum and parmesan. Let it cook for a minute as you stir before removing from heat.
Base
Consider this the same as making chapati dough. In a bowl, mix the flour and salt then add the oil and water until properly mixed. Knead the dough until smooth then using a rolling pin, flatten the dough until slightly thin (it will rise while cooking) and can fit into a pan.
Lightly heat the vegetable oil on a pan before placing the dough on the pan. Cook the dough for about 8 minutes on minimum heat. Then flip over the base and let it brown for a minute before flipping it back over.
Add the sauce generously to the top and add the mozzarella pieces on top. Put a lid on the pan for a minute to let the cheese on the top melt.
When done, sprinkle the dhania on top and enjoy.
