Recipe: Vegetable Pizza

I am mad for Pizza, be it veg or non-veg. I myself can eat a medium one alone! I tried to make this at home and it was awesome. It was a real successful attempt. It is very simple to make. You just need to make use your micro-oven. Let me share now the recipe.

Ingredients:

1. ¾ to 1-cup all-purpose Flour.
2. ½ cup whole-wheat Flour
3. 1 tbsp quick-rise active dry Yeast.
4. 1 ½ tsp dried basil leaves or pizza seasoning.
5. 1tbsp Olive oil or regular oil.
6. 1 clove Garlic, minced.
7. 1 tbsp yellow Cornmeal.
8. ½ cup warm water.
9. Tomato Sauce.
10. 1 cup sliced ripe Olives.
11. ½ cup Jalapeno peppers, Tomatoes, Onion chopped.
12. 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
13. Red pepper flakes
14.Salt to taste.


Procedure:

Combine ½ cup all- purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, yeast, pizza seasoning or basil leaves and salt. Blend oil with garlic and stir into flour mixture with water. Stir in ¼ cup of all- purpose flour until soft, slightly sticky dough forms, adding remaining ¼ cup all-purpose flour to prevent sticking (if necessary). Next, shape the dough into a ball. Cover with in container or paper towel,  let it rest for 10-20 minutes.
Place oven rack in lowest position, preheat oven to 400F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle with cornmeal and set aside. If you have a non- stick pan spray is not needed, corn meal alone is fine.
Roll dough into large circle on lightly floured surface. (Too much rolling makes the crust heavy and dense hence stretching dough to fit pan is best).Blend tomato sauce with ½ tsp of pizza seasoning or basil leaves in small bowl and spread evenly over crust.
Top with Jalapeno peppers, Tomatoes, Onions, Olives, Parmesan cheese,sprinkle crushed Red Pepper on top as per your choice.
