Detailed Procedure:
- Start by putting Whole Wheat Flour in a big mixing bowl. If you guys want to sieve the flour before adding it to the bowl, you may sieve it as well. It's completely optional but recommended.
- Next, add some lukewarm water to the flour and start combining the flour and water slowly. After mixing the flour and water, add some salt and sugar and knead a dough out of it. After 5-6 mins, when the dough starts rolling and gets well combined. Add in some oil and knead well again. Once you get your dough ready, cover it with a wet towel. A tip I wanna give you here is you can use the leftover dough as well. The normal roti dough doesn't have sugar and that's the only difference between this dough and a normal roti dough. If you don't mind the sugar difference, you can directly use the leftover roti dough as well. Also, instead of kneading manually, you can use a stand mixer or a food processor as well.
- Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes at 180ºC. Let's chop the veggies now. Choose vegetables of your choice and chop them the way you like them. Sometimes I chop my vegetables finely and sometimes julienne. The vegetables I used in this pizza are Cherry tomatoes, onion, green, yellow, red capsicum, and some black olives. I forgot to add sweet corn hehe. Keeping in mind the protein, I shredded some tofu to give it a cheese-like look but after baking, the tofu turned brownish but it didn't affect the taste of the pizza.
- Next, divide the dough into three equal parts. You can divide the dough into as many parts as you like. For example, if you want a thick crust pizza, divide it into two parts. If you want a thin crust, divide it into three or four parts. After dividing the dough, roll the dough once and make a ball and then flatten the dough ball and shape it like the desired pizza crust. You can shape the pizza round, square, rectangle, or in a triangle as well cause why not hehe. Use more flour if the dough turns out to be sticky. After shaping the crust, lay it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper(butter paper) and poke home holes using the fork. Poking the holes helps in the baking process.
- Put some pizza sauce(I used store-bought...I'll link it in the ingredients) on the crust and then the veggies and then top it all with the shredded tofu. I used some tofu cubes as well. Now, put that piece of art in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 180ºC(depending on the thickness of the crust, bake for a longer time if using a thicker dough and for a lesser time if using a thinner crust.)
- Taaddaaa....your lazy yet healthy pizza is ready. Top that piece of art with some pizza topping or oregano and some red chili flakes and behold the most important ingredient...LOVE...!!!
Please note: I tried this recipe in two ways: 1) I baked the crust for 20-25 minutes at 180º 2) I cooked the crust on a roti tawa or a fry pan/skillet. This method requires cooking the crust twice. Once before adding the toppings and the other one after adding the toppings. To use this method, cook the crust for 10 minutes on medium-low flame and then flip and cook the other side for 5 minutes remember this 5 minutes side. After cooking the crust once, put the topping(sauce and veggies) on the side you cooked for ten minutes, and then place the pizza on the pan again. Let the 5 minutes side be at the bottom this time. This method involves a little more work but the results are worth it as well.
