    About Veggie Pizza

    Delicious veggie pizza made with whole wheat base which taste super delicious and is pretty healthy too. I made this pizza in cast iron pan for crispy crust.

    There are few tips and tricks to get a perfect pizza. First thing you need to know is getting the pizza crust right. You need a fool proof pizza dough for that.

    If you ask kids their favourite food, their first answer would be Pizza. Pizza are a great hit with kids and they love it anytime of the week. But the pizza which you get from shops are not that much healthy, So make pizza at home because homemade are so much healthier and guilt free.

    Homemade Whole Wheat Veggie Pizza Recipe

    How to Make Veggie Pizza at Home

    Pizza Dough

    Start by making the dough, mix yeast and sugar in warm water. set aside for 5 mins. Take flour, salt and olive oil in a bowl. Add in the yeast water and make it into a soft dough. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours till it is doubled in size.

    Preheating Oven & Pan for Pizza

    preheat oven to 220 degree c. Heat only the bottom heating element mode in oven. Take half of the dough and spread it evenly in an oiled surface till it is circle in shape. Make sure the sides are little thicker than the centre. Heat a cast iron pan on stove till it is very hot. Turn off the heat. Add in little olive oil.

    Assembling Pizza

    Place the spread pizza base in the pan and spread pizza sauce on top generously. Now sprinkle your topping. I used onions, both colour capsicum. Transfer the cast iron pan into the oven, place it in the lowest rack of the oven. Cook this for 10 to 12 mins till the base is crispy.

    Baking Pizza

    Now remove the pizza from the oven, spread cheese all over it. Arrange some black olives on top. Drizzle little extra olive oil. Pop the pan back into the oven. Now place the oven rack close to the grill on top. Set the oven to grill mode and cook till the cheese is bubbly and golden it will take around 2 mins.

    Serving

    Remove the pan from oven and sprinkle some oregano seasoning. Carefully remove the pizza from the pan, slice into triangles. Serve.

    Tips & Tricks

    • Make sure you use cast iron pan to bake your pizza.
    • Keep your cast iron pan hot when transferring the dough into the pan.
    • Cook in the bottom rack of the oven during the first bake to ensure the base of the pizza gets crispy.
    • Whenever you remove the pan from oven, put the cast iron pan on gas flame to ensure that it doesn't loses its heat.
    • Drizzle olive oil in the cast iron pan before putting the dough, olive oil helps in getting crisp texture.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to not make pizza crust soggy?

    Using cast iron pan is very important in getting the perfect crispy crust.

    How to reheat a pizza?

    You can reheat pizza in oven.Just pop it into a 180 degree c preheated oven and cook for 5 to 6 mins.

    You can reheat it in microwave for just 30 seconds. I suggest to line a paper towel in a place and then put the pizza on it and cook.

      Hi, can't wait to try this. Can I use milk instead of water to make the dough ? Also, as soon as you flip the base, we must take it off the stove, right? Then put the toppings ?
