Since it's the weekend, we decided to make some homemade personal pan pizza, and it turned out great. Since we do not have an oven, we baked the pizza on a griddle on the stovetop, and I thought it turned out delicious and in half the time. This homemade pizza is definitely a great recipe for those days when you want to whip something up really quick. Here's how we made it:
2 ready made personal pan size pizza dough
Shredded cheese for garnish
1 bell pepper, chopped lengthwise
1 onion, chopped lengthwise
Any other veggies
For the homemade tomato sauce, you will need ..
1 can of tomato puree
2 tsp butter (we used ghee)
1/2 onion, diced
4-5 cloves garlic
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp corn starch
1 tsp water
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1. Heat up the ghee in a pan. When it melts, add the onions and garlic and stir fry for few minutes. Then add the tomato puree. Mix well.
2. Next add all the spices - salt, sugar, red chilli powder, black pepper, and italian seasoning.
3. In a small bowl, stir in the corn starch with 1 tsp water until there are no lumps in mixture. Add the corn starch to sauce as thickening agent.
4. Let sauce come to boil. Depending on your preference, add more water if you like the sauce to be not so thick.
5. Garnish with cilantro and let sauce simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make pizza:
1. First you have to bake both sides of the readymade pizza dough on the stovetop until they are light golden brown. Bake one side on medium-high heat, turn it around.
2. While the bottom side is baking, spread the pizza sauce on top side. Add the vegetable toppings, and finally garnish with shredded cheese on top.
3. Now cover the griddle with a lid to let the pizza finish baking on low heat. Make sure to check the bottom of the pizza every few minutes so that your pizza doesn't burn. When the pizza is as crisp as you like it, turn off the heat.
4. We like our cheese to be a little brown and crisp, so we broiled it in the microwave for about 3 minutes.
5. Voila! Homemade pizza's ready!!
