Veggie pizza

There is nothing better than a homemade pizza. Such a classic comfort food! So next time you are thinking of going out to eat a pizza, think twice! You might as well made it at home ! It is as delicious and way cheaper ! It is also a very fun activity to do with your partner, kids or friends ! You can each made your own with different toppings.

Flour: I found the best to use it ‘00’ flour, also known as pasta flour. Normal wheat flour works also fine!


Warm Water: Your water should be warm, not boiling, otherwise it would kill the yeast and it will not raise.


Tomato can: I love to use the cherry tomato cans. I usually crush them on the dough, and it gives a little more texture to the pizza. However, normal tomato sauce in a can works perfectly too! You can even buy one that is already spiced with herbs.

 

Vegetables: Obviously, the vegetables suggested above can be exchanged with others or just removed. No rules there! Put whatever you want on your pizza!

 

Herbs: If you have a pack of mix herbs, perfect use this! Otherwise you can make your own with some rosemary, oregano, thyme and savory. The herbs on the tomato sauce bring so much more flavour to the pizza and does make a big difference, so make sure you have some (at least rosemary or oregano)!

Instructions

Mix the flour, warm water, yeast, and olive oil in a bowl until forming a homogenous dough. Shape it into a bowl and leave it in the bowl to raise for 1 hour. Make sure to cover the bowl with a wet towel to prevent the dough of drying out.

While the dough is raising, slices the onion, pepper, mushrooms, and aubergine

Preheat your oven at 180° C. Using a rolling pin (or an empty wine bottle) stretch your dough into a circle or a square. Pour the tomato can on the dough and spray it equality on the dough. Add salt, pepper and herbs on the tomato sauce. Then add your sliced vegetables. Top them with mozzarella cheese and grated cheese and pop the pizza in the oven until the cheese turns golden (around 30 min). And your pizza is ready!
