We usually have a pizza craving every weekend, the craving can hit us either on a Friday or a Saturday night when we usually Netflix and Chill as a family.
Our usual orders are from either Papa Johns, or Dominos, and not the local Pizza place like most others opt for. Neev our son has suddenly taken a detour to the world of pizzas from his busy broccoli streets :-)
During lockdown in early March 2020, outside Pizzas were a total "No" for sometime, thats when we put our baker hats on and decided to take the plunge into the World of Baking.
The below pizza recipe is considered very healthy and it featured in the Foods that Cure Disease documentary on Amazon Prime (now available on YouTube). Off-late the pandemic has made us switch to choices we would have not otherwise made.
....Now take a seat and enjoy the pizza
Oven Baked, Hand Tossed Pizza
What you need?
- 2 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp of Yeast
- 2 tsp of Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 3 Cups of Water
- enough to deep dish the pizza Shredded Cheddar Cheese or any Cheese of your choice
- 1/2 cup Alfredo Sauce or Tomato Sauce or Pizza Sauce
- Toppings of your choice
- My funny son Neev :-) by your side, cracking his silly jokes
Process
a) Preparation of the Pizza Base
(1) Heat the water in a Cup to 100 Degrees, mix the yeast into it with the Sugar & set aside for 10-12 min.
(2) In a Bowl mix the Flour with the Salt, Nutritional Yeast, Garlic Powder.
(3) After 10 min have passed, mix the Yeast water mix into the Flour mix and knead until you get a round ball of Dough
(4) Once you finish Kneading the Dough, cover it and rest it for 15-20 min.
b) Setting up the Pizza for the bake
(1) Roll the pizza Dough on a parchment paper on a round pizza base, depending on how thick you want your crust. We prefer between the medium and the thin crust.
(2) First take a fork and poke on the pizza crust so that it avoids bubble formation during baking
3) Spread Shredded Cheese on the base and then arrange the toppings in a way it intrigues you :-).
....and finally -> Baking
c) Baking1) pre-heat the oven to 475 Degrees
2) Cook the pizza in the oven at 475 Degrees for 20-25 min
....and lastly serve with love
We have been quite sustainably enjoying this pizza, let me be very honest, it can never taste as good as the store ones, but it will definately smell, taste more fresher than the store ones and more importantly you can "BAKE IT TO A HEALTHY PERFECTION THAT FITS YOUR NEED"
Hope you enjoyed this recipe and below are some of the magical moments from our Pizza baking rituals from March 2020 up until last week April 2021
