Whole Wheat Pizza Base (Without Yeast, Without Oven) Recipe
This lockdown period, we made almost every recipe we love as a family. But there were still a few recipes left such as pizza, ragda pattice, kutchi dabeli etc.
Making pizzas at home is a fancy affair but due to the ongoing pandemic, I found it hard to trust the pizza base from a local bakery, which is precisely why we procrastinated making pizzas. However, I thought I should try making the whole wheat pizza base without yeast without oven recipe and surprise my homies of what we can do together as a family. While I gathered ingredients and made pizzas, my dad (with his muscle power) helped me knead the dough.
The best part is that most of the ingredients such as wheat flour, curd, tomato ketchup, tomatoes, onions etc. can be found at home at any given time so you can make the whole wheat pizza base frequently!
INGREDIENTS
For whole wheat pizza base:
(makes seven 9-inch pizzas)
6 cups wheat flour
9 tbsp sour curd
3 tbsp + 3 tbsp cooking oil
Salt
3 tsp baking soda
3 tsp sugar
Water
For pizza toppings:
2 medium onions, cut in petals
2 small tomatoes, deseeded and diced
1 capsicum, deseeded and diced
1 cup corn
3/4 cup mushroom, sliced
200 g paneer, diced
Processed cheese cubes (1 cheese cube per pizza)
Tomato ketchup/marinara sauce/pizza sauce
Salt
Oregano
Chilli flakes
Black pepper
Oil
WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA BASE WITHOUT YEAST WITHOUT OVEN RECIPE
1. In a large mixing bowl, take wheat and add salt, sugar, and baking soda. Mix lightly.
2. Make a hole in middle and add oil. Mix and add curd.
3. Finally, make a dough using water. Add more oil and water if needed.
Note: The consistency should be on the softer side or else the base would turn out thick after baking.
4. Cover the dough and let it ferment for 30-35 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cut all the vegetables and keep them aside.
6. Take out the cover and punch slowly in the middle of the dough to release air.
7. Make equal balls of the dough. (You should be able to make 6-7 balls with the measurements we've taken.)
8. Meanwhile, take a large kadhai and add salt to it. Place a cooker dish on top of the salt. (You can use sand instead of salt.)
9. Cover the kadhai with a lid and preheat on medium flame for 10-12 minutes.
10. Now back to the dough. Using a rolling pin, flatten the ball and pierce using a fork to avoid fluffing of the base. Your whole wheat pizza base without yeast without oven is halfway done!
11. Transfer the pizza base to a plate. (Ensure the plate fits well in the kadhai beforehand.)
12. Grease the pizza base with oil and smear some tomato ketchup/marinara sauce/pizza sauce.
13. Grate some cheese and evenly sprinkle all over the sauce.
15. Grate cheese and sprinkle it all over the pizza.
16. Sprinkle salt, oregano, chilli flakes, black pepper.
17. Pour some oil to maintain moisture.
18. Take off the lid from the kadhai and place the pizza along with the plate on the dish.
19. Cover the kadhai with the lid and bake on medium flame for 10-12 minutes.
20. After 12 minutes, check if the pizza is baked. The cheese should melt and the sides should turn brownish. Lift the pizza using a flat spatula to check if the base is sturdy enough. (Keep for 5 minutes more if the pizza doesn't appear baked.)
21. And your whole wheat pizza from the scratch is ready!
