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.
Measure 2 cups of Maida and put it into a large bowl. Add salt 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
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead well until a smooth dough forms
Add 2 tbsp of 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 for at least 45 minutes, up to 1 ½ hours
For this recipe, we use a technique to give our pizza a smoky flavour. To a bowl of the pizza sauce, place a small metal bowl in the centre. Place an activated hot charcoal in the middle. Pour 1 tbsp of oil on top, and cover the whole bowl with aluminium foil. Let it sit for at least 3 minutes before opening.
For the Paneer Tikka marination. In a bowl, combine the curd, Kashmiri red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, chaat masala, ginger garlic paste and salt. Mix in the paneer, onion, capsicum and oil.
After the dough has risen, divide the dough into 3 portions.
Roll out the dough to your preferred thickness, and transfer to the baking tray. You can also divide the dough in 2, for a larger sized pizza, Pierce the dough using a fork.
Spread the smoked pizza sauce on the dough, except for 1 inch around the border, spread shredded cheese on the pizza. Place the marinated Paneer, onion and capsicum around the pizza.
Bake in an oven preheated to 230 degrees celsius for 12 minutes, or until the cheese starts to turn golden.
Take out of the oven and brush the crust with olive oil. Cut into 6 pieces and serve hot.
