- 3/4 cup lukewarm water


Ingredients for Pizza Topping:

- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce

- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

- 1 onion, thinly sliced

- 1 bell pepper (capsicum), thinly sliced

- 1 tomato, thinly sliced

- 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Instructions for Pizza Dough:


1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.


2. Add oil and gradually add lukewarm water while kneading the dough. Mix well until a soft and smooth dough forms.


3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic.


4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.


Instructions for Pizza:


1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).


2. Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles and knead it lightly.


3. Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out each portion into a round shape of desired thickness on a floured surface. You can adjust the thickness based on your preference.


4. Transfer the rolled dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking tray.


5. Spread pizza sauce evenly on the rolled dough, leaving a small border around the edges.


6. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the sauce.


7. Arrange the sliced onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, black olives, and sweet corn kernels on top of the cheese.


8. Sprinkle dried oregano, dried basil, red chili flakes, and salt over the toppings.


9. Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese melts and bubbles.


10. Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.


11. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.


12. Slice the Indian-style homemade pizza into wedges and serve hot.
