Ready to Cook Pizza Base Recipe / How to Make Pizza Base at Home

share this

I used buy pizza base from shops and keep that in fridge. Whenever i need to make a quick dinner or want to fix some urgent hunger pangs, i spread tomato sauce, and i put whatever veggies or toppings i get on hand, sprinkle over lots of cheese and pop this in microwave for a min. Thats it i have a delicious cheesy pizza on hand in few mins..

But later i came to know that making pizza base at home is not that difficult at all. All you need is your basic pizza dough and you can make a whole batch of pizza base right in your kitchen. I made this pizza base from my basic no fail pizza dough recipe and made two kinds of pizza using this, a egg pizza which i will posting next and a olive cheese pizza, which i will be sharing soon. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Preparation Time : 10 mins
Resting Time : 1 hour

Cooking Time : 2 to 3 mins per batch

Makes : 5 to 6 mini base

Ingredients:

All Purpose flour / Maida -2 cup + more as needed

Dry Yeast – 1.5 tsp

Sugar – 1 tblspn

Salt to taste

Warm Water-1 cup or as needed

Olive oil-1 tblspn

You can use my whole wheat pizza dough recipe as well..

Method:

Take flour in a bowl and mix salt with it.

Mix yeast,sugar with warm water and set it aside for 5 min or till it foam up.

Add the yeast water with the flour mixture and make a soft dough

Apply oil all over it generously and cover it..

Cover it with a damp cloth and Set this aside in a warm place till it doubles in size( for about 1 hour).

When it doubles,knock out the air and knead the dough for 3 min. Add extra flour if you need

Now divide the dough into equal portions.

Take one portion and roll it into pretty thick rounds. Prick it with a fork all over.

Now put this in a pan and put it on low heat, cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 2 mins. Now flip over and cook for a min or so.

Remove and let it cool down.

Once it is cooled, you can store this in fridge for a week.

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT PIZZA BASE:

1)The dough which you make should be very soft and slightly sticky before the first rise, once it is risen then add more more and knead to a soft dough. This ensures that the pizza base stays soft

2)You can cook the base in a low heat so it cooks right into the center.

3)You can store this in fridge for a week and freeze them for more than a month.
