Let’s make an outstanding Italian-style pizza with a merry assortment of vegetables, mushrooms, chicken, and salami topped with the best quality mozzarella cheese to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds. You can opt for tuna in place of chicken.
The Italian pizza sauce used in this recipe was passed on to me by an Italian Chef friend a couple of years ago and ever since I have been making such gorgeous pizzas at home! Now that the secret is revealed, you too can enjoy authentic Italian-style pizzas at home!
Dough: My bread machine makes the dough so there is no hassle in sweating over kneading the dough. If you do not have a bread machine or a kneading machine, you can simply buy a frozen pizza base from supermarkets or make it from scratch which can give you the best of flavours and full credit for the glorious outcome!
Ingredients:
| Plain flour | 500 g |
| Sugar | 1 tsp |
| Eggs | 1 |
| Butter | 50g |
| Milk powder | 1/2 cup |

- Pour 1/2 cup of warm water gradually onto dry yeast and mix thoroughly. Keep aside
- Break the egg into the 1/2 cup of milk and whisk
- Add sugar, butter and salt to the milk and egg and combine all together
- Now pour over the flour. Knead until all come together as a ball and no longer sticking onto your fingers. If you need a bit more water to get the right texture of the flour, add a little more warm water
