This makes the perfect Italian Pizza. Hope you enjoy!

Italian Pizza

For the Dough
2 1/2 teaspoons of yeast
2 cups of all purpose flour/maida
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon olive oil
¾ to 1 cup of warm water


For the toppings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small cup of tomato sauce
1 sliced tomato
2 minced garlic flakes
1 cup of any desired vegetables
(Mushroom, spinach, capsicum...)
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese

Method

1. Stir yeast into warm water and wait for 5 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl add flour, salt and remaining warm water.
3. Knead for few minutes or until smooth.
4. Add olive oil and then place in a lightly floured bowl. Cover and let it rise till doubled, say for about 1 to 2 hours.

Make balls of dough and turn out onto a floured surface and knead it to a round flat shape or a desired shape. Put it in a pre-heated oven (200 degrees Celsius) and then oven for 8-14 minutes or until bottom is cooked.

1. Lightly spread olive oil over the surface of the pizza. This allows the toppings to cook on top of the pizza.
2. Add tomato sauce/gravy. ( Any tomato sauce will work)
3. Next mince garlic and spread on top. Add salt, pepper, oregano, and basil to taste.
4. Then put on parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
Depending on what vegetables you have, you can then add pepper, onion, olives, mushrooms or fresh tomato. You can put any vegetable you like on top of your pizza. It will definitely be good!
If you want you can add flavored olive oil (roasted pepper/basil/ garlic). You can also add flakes of red chillies.

Preheat oven to 500o F.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble and brown.
