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.
Divide the dough into 3 portions.
Roll one portion into a 1 cm thick round base. Pierce all over with a fork.
Cover a skillet or a Tawa with a lid, and heat it until it gets very hot. Turn down the heat to low and then add the rolled Pizza dough. Cook, covered, for 2 minutes. Flip over to the other side. Cook for 30 seconds.
Remove the dough onto a flat plate or a work surface. Spread sauce on the pizza base, except for 1 inch around the edges.
Add the shredded Mozzarella cheese. Top with the onion and capsicum. Add the sweet corn kernels and sliced olives on top. Sprinkle chilli flakes and oregano on the pizza.
Place it back in the Tawa and cook, covered for 2 minutes, or until the cheese has completely melted and has slightly changed colour.
Remove from the pan. Cut into 6 pieces and serve hot.
