- Add the marinated chicken pieces to the non stick pan.
- Cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked on medium flame. Stir frequently.
- Keep the cooked chicken pieces aside.
- Take a cup of warm water (not hot just warm ... so that you can dip your finger in it).
- Add 1 tsp sugar &2 tsp yeast in the warm water. Stir well. Leave it for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes you will notice froth in the water.
- In a large mixing bowl, take all purpose flour, wheat flour, salt, chili flakes, dried oregano, dried basil & oil. Mix well.
- To this flour mix, add the frothy yeast mixture. Knead well for 5 - 6 minutes to form a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into two. Form a ball out of each part.
- Tae 2 bowls large enough for the dough to expand. Brush the bowls with olive oil. Keep the dough balls in separate bowls. Cover the bowls with cling wrap. & Let it rest for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours you will notice the dough has doubled up in volume.
- Take a dough ball & remove it on a plate which is well dusted with flour.
- Knead the dough ball for a minute or so.
- Now roll it into a semi thick flat disc like a roti. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten it.
- Transfer it to a non stick tawa.
- Leave it like that for 30 minutes on the tawa.
- Do the same for another dough ball as well.
- Preheat the oven to 220 or 230 degree Celsius. Place the oven tray on which you will place the pizza inside for preheating.
- Now after 30 minutes, heat the tawa on medium heat. This make the pizza base crisp ;-)
- Keep the heat on for 2 minutes.
- While the pizza base is getting heated, spread the pizza sauce over it, then cheese, then chicken tikkas, some onion slices, some capsicum slices & again cheese over it. After 2 minutes, transfer the pizza with the help of the pan itself in the preheated oven. Pizza base is already crunchy.
- Cook the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from oven after 10 minutes.
- Cook the 2nd pizza in the same way.
- Enjoy the Pizza.
- You can select any of your favorite toppings for the pizza like mushrooms, jalapeno, sundried tomato etc.
- If you don't have oven, cook the pizza on the pan itself, just put the heat on medium - high. When you notice browning at the edges of the pizza, remove it in a serving plate.
- When you chop veggies for the toppings, place it on a tissue to remove its moisture.
- You can replace wheat flour with all purpose flour for pizza dough.
- Don't increase the measure of wheat flour in pizza, it makes pizza dense.
