GARLICKY CHICKEN PIZZA

Finally, I have a bake for my blog...Pizza - the one dish we all need to thank Italia for. The name automatically invokes hunger in me...the feel of melted cheese in your mouth...its heavenly!!

Here, I have used chicken strips and beef sausages for topping. You have all the choice in the world when it comes to topping up yours. So by all means don’t stick to the recipeJ.

I baked it in my microwave oven on convection mode. Directions are also for the same. It will vary for ovens. Usually ovens take lesser time.

Ingredients: (serves 4)

Dough:

All purpose flour- 2 ½ cups

Milk- ½ cup

Sugar- 1 tablespoon

Salt- ½ teaspoon

Egg - 1

Dry active Yeast - 1 teaspoon

Olive oil - tablespoon

Topping:

Mozzarella cheese shredded - 2 cups

Boneless Chicken fillet -2 cut into thin strips

Beef sausages - 3 boiled and chopped

Pizza sauce- 3 tablespoon

Bell pepper - ½ sliced

Onion- 1 sliced

Tomato

Ground pepper - 1 teaspoon

Dried oregano - a pinch

Olive oil

Marinade for chicken:

Garlic paste- 1 ½ tablespoon freshly ground

Lime juice - from 1 whole lime

Ground pepper- 1 teaspoon

Method:

1.       In a small bowl take 2 tablespoon lukewarm water and put the yeast in. Cover with a lid and keep aside for few mins till the yeast particles start accumulating on top of the water.

2.       Mix flour, salt, sugar, olive oil and egg with a fork. Then add milk and yeast and knead dough for a few mins till it is smooth. Cover with a wet kitchen towel and keep aside for 2 or 3 hours. When dough expands to double the size, punch to eliminate air gaps formed while rising.

3.       Mix chicken in marinade.

4.       Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan and toss in chicken. Stir fry till chicken is cooked. Be careful not to overdo it.

Chicken would look like this:

5.       Prepare the pizza pan or whatever pan you choose to bake in. Coat a thin layer of olive oil on it. Spread the dough evenly in it.

6.       Top it with the pizza sauce, onions, chicken, sausage and bell pepper. Bake at 210⁰C for 15mins.

7.       Now, spread the cheese and tomatoes. Sprinkle pepper and oregano. Bake at 200⁰C for 15mins more.

8.       And serve with your favourite accompaniment!
