Method
In a bowl, add the water, yeast and sugar. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This allows the yeast to bloom. If it doesn’t rise, the yeast might be old or expired.
Add salt to the maida and mix, to make sure that the salt is distributed evenly.
Make a well in the centre of the maida, using your fingers or a wooden spoon. Add the wet mixture in the middle. Start adding a little bit of flour into the wet mixture. Continue doing this until all the flour is mixed in, and a shaggy dough is formed.
Add oil to the dough. Knead well again until the oil is completely mixed in and the dough becomes smooth.
Cover with a damp cloth and allow it to rise until doubled in size for at least 45 minutes, up to 1 ½ hours.
After the dough rises, divide it in two. One portion is for one pizza.
Cut the dough into a quarter and three-fourths.
Roll out the small portion into a flat disc. Heat on a tawa for 1 minute. Flip over and cook for a few seconds.
Roll out the larger portion. Apply the cheese spread and place the cooked dough on top.
Spread the pizza sauce, followed by the grated cheese and all the toppings.
Drizzle olive oil over the top.
Cook in a preheated oven at the highest temperature until the cheese is completely melted, around 8-12 minutes. Apply olive oil around the edges. Cut and serve.
