Instructions
Pizza Dough –
- In a large mixing bowl, add wheat flour, sugar and active instant dry yeast – mix well.
- Add water and stir it quickly using a spoon. The mixture should be stringy.
- Leave it in a warm place for 60 mins until it is frothy and bubbly, doubled up.
- Add all purpose flour along with salt and roughly mix it with a spoon.
- The dough should come together. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the dough.
- Knead it for 2-3 mins slowly by adding additional olive oil as needed. The dough might be little sticky, add very little wheat flour or oil as needed.
- Keep the dough covered with cling wrap and rest in a warm place for one hour or until it is doubled up.
Minto Pesto Sauce –
- In a mixer jar, add all ingredients required to make the pesto and grind it into a smooth paste without adding water.
- Remove onto an airtight container. The top portion might turn darker shade of green due to oxidation.
Whole Wheat Pesto Pizza –
- Split the pizza dough into 4 equal parts. Take a ball of dough and press it gently on an aluminum foil greased with olive oil and dusted with wheat flour.
- Pat it into a thin circle of even thickness – this is the pizza base.
- Spread a layer of mint pesto sauce evenly on the pizza.
- Place diced tomatoes, onions and grated/chopped cheese balls. Drizzle olive oil around the edges.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for 10-12 mins until the bottom is slightly crisp and golden. The cheese should be bubbling.
- Serve hot immediately with a sprinkle of pizza seasonings.
