Whole Wheat Pizza

Whole Wheat Pizza - Nandita Pai Shirali

Ingredients:


For the dough:
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Yeast - 1/2 tbsp
Sugar - 1/2 tbsp
Salt - a pinch
Water - as needed
Olive Oil - as needed


For the toppings:
Tomato Ketchup - as needed
You can use any combination of veggies that you like.
I used - Onions, tomatoes, baby corn, capsicum and sweet corn.
Pizza seasoning - as needed,
Rec chilli flakes - as needed
Cheese - 1 cup, grated


Method:

I followed this procedure [How to make yeast dough?] to prepare the yeast dough, only that I used only wheat flour and no all purpose flour. Just minus the 1/2 cup of all purpose flour and proceed with the recipe as is.
While the yeast dough rises, chop all the veggies and keep aside.
After an hour the dough would have doubled. Half it into two balls.
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
Dust the work floor with a bit of flour and toss one ball on it.
Knead for a minute and then roll it out into a flat round with about 3/4 inch thickness.
Fold in the ends a bit to form a mini wall of sorts and using a fork poke holes in it randomly, to ensure even cooking.

Transfer the dough onto a greased plate and smear tomato ketchup evenly.
Spread out the chopped veggies over this, sprinkles some pizza seasoning and salt.
Generously sprinkle grated cheese over. Smear a little oil on the sides, along the crust if you like them to become a golden brown.
Bake for 10-15 minutes at 170 degrees. Mine were done in 10 minutes.
Take out of over, sprinkle with red chilli flakes and pizza seasoning and serve hot

This recipe calls for very basic ingredients. I used easily available tomato ketchup instead of pizza sauce or tomato puree. It turned out perfectly well though.
Play around with the topping and get as creative as you can get
