Method
To make pizza bread
In warm water, add dry yeast, salt and sugar, stir and leave till it becomes frothy.
In a bowl, take flour, make a hole in the centre and pour this yeast mixture in it.
Add little more water to knead into smooth dough. Apply oil over the dough and leave it to rest till it doubles in size. This will take about one to two hours.
For making pizza sauce
Heat olive oil in a pan, add chopped garlic and sauté for a minute, then add pepper corns and green chili and again sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add sliced onion and sauté till it becomes soft, then add tomatoes and stir fry till it is totally mashed. In the end add salt and oregano or mixed herbs. Remove from fire. When it cools down, blend it to a fine paste and your pizza sauce is ready.
To make pizza
Knead the dough again, and then with the help of a rolling pin, flatten it and leave it aside for 10 to 15 minutes till it rises again.
Grease the baking tray and dust with flour. Place this flatten dough on the tray, spread pizza sauce on it, then sprinkle onion, capsicum, olives, mozzarella cheese and dried oregano.
Bake it in a preheated oven at 200 degree for 15 to 20 minutes or till the cheese melts. Cut it into desired pieces and serve hot.
