Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

January 25, 2017 by Vish 5 Comments

Do you just ever crave a quick and instant pizza? And you don’t have time to go to the store and buy a pizza crust? Well, this quick and easy made from scratch pizza crust from your pantry will surely amaze you! The first time I made it, I couldn’t believe how tasty it turned out, and all you need is 3 staple ingredients from your kitchen..

  1. Self-Rising Flour
  2. Greek Yogurt
  3. Olive oil

Equipment:

  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Mat or a clean surface to roll your dough

Tips & Tricks:

  1. You may need to adjust the proportion each of the ingredients slightly as the consistency of the Greek Yogurt varies from brand to brand. I have used the Costco’s Kirkland Signature Organic Non-Fat Greek Yogurt for this recipe..
  2. Best to roll the crust on a large silicone baking mat, you are always guaranteed a stick free rolling with it..

Ingredients (Makes Two 14-15 inch Pizzas)

  • 3 Cups Self-Rising Flour
  • 2 cups to 2.5 cups Greek Yogurt
  • 4 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method:

  1. Add the 3 Cups Self-Rising Flour, 2 cups of Greek Yogurt and the 4 Tbsp Olive Oil to a mixing bowl.

2. Get in there with your hands and mix to form a dough. You may need to add either more flour or yogurt to form dough.

3. Knead the dough with your hand until it feels pliable and can be easily rolled with a rolling pin.

4. Cut the dough in half and let it sit for 10 mins.

5. Roll each half of the dough to fit your pizza pan or you can also roll it to fit your baking tray if you are making a flatbread..

6. Brush the pizza crust with olive oil and top with your favorite ingredients..

This is a quick and easy meals for kids or play dates. One of my tricks is to roll the pizza crust to a large size and then give the kids each a cookie cutter so they get to decide their pizza shapes. Put out a few toppings and let them have a go at making their own pizzas! They absolutely enjoy this and guess what, how could anyone not eat a pizza the shape of a Christmas tree or Snow flake or Mickey mouse :)!

Veggie Pizza

January 25, 2017 by Vish Leave a Comment

This is a really fun, kid friendly meal that can be put together really quick.. You can pretty much use any vegetable you like. I usually end up making this Pizza for a quick dinner, so end up using what I can find in my refrigerator. My family absolutely enjoys this pizza and we usually end up eating this on a Friday evening. After a busy week, there is no other better way to start the weekend than a quick home-made pizza and popcorn..

Tips & Tricks..

  1. The trick to an amazing crust and bubbling top is to bake a pizza at 450F and put it on the lowest rack of the oven
  2. I do prefer Pizza trays with holes..produces a nice brown crispy crust!
  3. The tomato sauce, be sure the sauce is brushed on a thin layer. A lot of sauce just makes the pizza too soggy, over cooks the crust leave the insides still really soggy, we don’t want that. A thin layer ensures that pizza cooks fast and as soon as the crust is ready, the pizza is ready. Using a strong flavored tomato sauce helps add a lot of flavor while keep the sauce layer thin.

Ingredients

1 Quick and Easy Pizza Crust Recipe

1 Jar of good strong Tomato Sauce (I like the one with Basil or Garlic for Pizza base)

1.5 cups of Shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese

½ Red Bell Pepper cut up into small cubes

½ Yellow Bell Pepper cut up into small cubes

1/4 of a Red onion, thin slices

½ cup olives cut in half

½ cup Roasted Garlic

1 to 1.5 cups Spinach cut fine

Method:

1. Roll the Pizza dough and transfer it on to the Pizza tray. The trick to transferring the rolled dough onto the tray is roll it on the rolling pins and then unroll it over the pizza tray.

2. Brush a thin layer of tomato sauce on the pizza crust

3. Sprinkle your favorite shredded cheese. For this version, I used shredded Cheddar.

4. Top up with the veggies.. Keep it to minimal, you don’t want the pizza loaded up. This will overcook the crust, leaving pizza still soggy on the inside

5. Once the veggies on top, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to season the raw vegetables.

6. Place the pizza tray on the bottom rack of the oven and cook until crust is done. You should be able to lift it off the tray and center of the pizza should not be wet.

7. Use a Pizza cutter to cut up pizza to size you like and enjoy! 🙂
