Method

1.   Press “Menu” until arrow points at “Pizza”. Press Start/Stop.

2.   Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until it becomes elastic and springs back when touched.

(  (Important Note: If you do not have a bread-maker then you will have knead all the ingredients by hand until the dough is smooth but sticky). 

3.   Divide the dough into 6 balls or 2 large balls, and place in warm area for 10 minutes. I kept it in the oven with the light on to give it some warmth. 

4.   Shape each ball into a flat circle. Place the circles on a baking tray and prick with a fork. You stretch them according to your preference of crust-deep dish, regular, thin crust etc. 

5.   Let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.

6.   Brush each circle with 2 tablespoons tomato paste. 












Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Top with your favorite topping, such as sliced onions, paneer, Capsicum, Jalapeño. 

7.
   Bake in preheated 340⁰F oven for 15-20 minutes.
