This pizza is special
as I using pumpkin as part of the pizza dough. To make the pizza making easy I
use plain flour. With the help of yeast and baking powder the pizza dough turns
out great! So don’t worry about the hard kneading time and long proving time.
Do try!
Ingredients:
yields 9” thin pizza
(A)180g plain flour
½ tsp yeast
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
80g pumpkin puree
30ml water
(B) Topping
Spaghetti sauce for
spreadingMozzarella and cheddar cheese
Onion, shredded pumpkin, pineapple (diced), sausage and crabstick.
*Or any topping you like.
Methods:
1. Mix
all ingredients and knead to form pliable dough. Cover and leave to rest for 10
minutes.
2. Transfer to working
surface. Roll out the dough into 9” disc shape. Transfer to greased pizza pan. Brush
the surface with some oil. Prick some holes with fork to prevent dough puff
during the baking process.
3. Bake in preheated
oven 200C for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and start topping by spreading
spaghetti sauce, cheeses and the rest of the topping ingredients.
4. Send back into oven
and bake for further 10-15 minutes or until the cheese topping turn golden
brown. Serve while it is warm. Enjoy!
Hi Vivian,
ReplyDeleteLooks so delicious ! I love tat and it seems so simple. Sometime i cant find time to wait for the long hours of proofing after work.
Btw, If I don't have pumpkin, do I need to adjust the water volume ?
Tks
i just realised that you're doing a pumpkin series! good inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good and very unique to use pumpkin in the dough.
ReplyDeleteHei,
ReplyDeleteIf you omit the pumpkin, do increase the water, about 80-90ml which is about 1/2 weight of the flour portion.
Lena,
