First let us activate the Yeast. Take Warm Water or Warm Milk in a cup. Water/Milk should be warm and not hot or else the yeast might not get activated.

Add a teaspoon of Sugar to the Water and stir it to completely dissolve it. Sugar acts as a catalyst which is added to activate the Yeast.

Next add Dry Yeast to the sugar water and stir it to dissolve completely. Cover the cup and allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes.

After 10-15 minutes, you will see that froths and bubbles are formed at the surface which indicates that the Yeast has been activated.

If froths are not formed at the surface, it means that the Yeast has not been activated. Do not use it and try with another batch of yeast. Keep the activated yeast aside.

Now take All Purpose Flour in a large bowl. To it add Garlic Powder, Oregano, Chilli Flakes and Salt.

Mix all the ingredients uniformly with your palm. These ingredients are optional and you can skip it if you want. But I would suggest you to use it since it enhances the taste and adds aroma to the Pizza.

Next add the activated yeast to the mixture. Mix and knead the mixture to prepare soft dough. If required you can add extra water while kneading.

The dough should be little sticky. Sticky dough will help in preparing soft and fluffy Pizza. Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes.

Once the dough is prepared, apply some oil over the dough so that it does not stick further with the bowl. Cover the dough and place it in a warm place for about 1½ to 2 hours to ferment. During this time the dough will double in its size.

First wash all the veggies such as Onion, Tomato, Capsicum, Mushroom, Jalapeno and Olive. Cut or slice them as required or as per your convenience. Keep them aside.

Remove the lid from the dough. The dough becomes almost double in size. Knead the dough again for few minutes to remove the air bubbles.

Divide the dough into two equal parts. You can also divide it into 3 equal parts depending upon the size of your pizza tray. If your pizza tray is big you can use the entire dough in one go. Roll all the parts into circle shaped dough.

Now take small amount of Maida and sprinkle it over rolling board or over the flat surface of your kitchen. Place the dough over the flat surface.

Roll the dough with the help of rolling pin to make flat circle shape roti of thickness of approx. 4 to 5 mm. You can also flatten the dough with your palm by stretching it outwards. The thickness of the roti can be varied as per your requirement.

Now take Pizza tray and grease the surface with Butter. Sprinkle some maida or corn meal over the tray.

Place the rolled dough in the tray. Slightly stretch the pizza dough with your palm and make it uniform from all sides.

Next press the pizza along its edges with your fingers to slightly raise the edges. The pizza should be thicker at the edges and thinner at the centre. Raising the edges of Pizza prevents the cheese from flowing out of the pizza on melting.

Now take fork and pierce the pizza base randomly at 9 to 10 places. This is done so that the pizza base does not puff on baking.

Next add Pizza Sauce and spread it evenly over the pizza leaving the edges.

Take the Grated/Shredded Cheese and spread it all over the pizza base. Over the cheese add the sliced veggies such as Onion, Tomato, Sweet Corn, Capsicum, Mushroom, Jalapeno and Olives.

Sprinkle Oregano, Chilli Flakes and Mixed Herbs over the veggies. Lastly spread some more cheese if desired avoiding over the veggies. Keep it aside and let’s start making the baking set up.

To make the baking set up switch on the gas and place the heavy base kadai over it. Add Regular Salt to it and place the stand over the salt.

Cover the kadai with lid and allow it to preheat for about 15 minutes over medium heat. This is the baking setup. You can bake the Pizza in microwave oven also.

After 15 minutes of pre heating, open the lid and place the tray with Pizza over the stand.

Cover the kadai again and bake the Pizza for about 15 minutes under medium flame. If you are baking in microwave oven, then bake it at 180 degree Celsius for about 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes switch off the gas. Open the lid and take out the tray. Sprinkle some Oregano and Chilli Flakes over the Pizza.

Tasty, delicious and mouthwatering Veg Pizza is ready to serve. Cut the Pizza with pizza cutter and serve it hot.
