Veg pizza recipe – Veggie pizza recipe – Best homemade pizza for vegetarian
Make Domino’s style Veg pizza recipe from scratch (described with simple step-by-step pictures) – This vegetable-topped homemade pizza is made with a perfect crust simply best in taste. As we know Pizza is a classic Italian flatbread with various delicious toppings, this veg pizza is also none other than that. Whereas my today’s variation is topped with homemade pizza sauce, loads of colorful veggies, and yummy mozzarella cheese on my homemade pizza dough with oregano and basil seasonings. Though here I’ve prepared this pizza, especially for vegetarian people. However, any pizza lover can make this pizza at home. Even can make it with or without an oven. This means, can cook it in a microwave oven or those who don’t have a microwave oven, can easily make it on a gas stoveon tawa(Indian skillet) or pan.
I made this veg pizzawith fresh vegetables like red, yellow & green bell pepper, sweet corn, and black olives. But there is no such hard rule to use the same veggies as I used in my pizza. You can simply use any vegetables of your choice too. Though I basically use all raw vegetables in my pizza’s topping to contain the best crunch. As sautéed veggies can not be able to retain their crunch after baking.
Pizza is very common in my kitchen for long years when even I had no microwave oven. Then I used Tawa, a pan even a pressure cooker for baking my pizzas. Though as a non-vegetarian mostly chicken is a common ingredient in my all pizza recipes. But I have a good experience with vegetable pizza mainly delivered by Dominoes. That taste basically drives me to make it at home. Mostly when I have a sort of chicken in the freezer. But lots of fresh veggies (suits to be veg pizza toppings) are left in my refrigerator’s vegetable basket, frozen mozzarella Cheese is waiting to be used & my son wants to eat a pizza.
Actually, in Bangalore most of my kid’s friends are vegetarian. And in most of their birthday parties menu, veg pizzas or burgers are very common. So when our turn come, as per my kid’s choice first time I order our favorite shop’s pizza with different veg toppings. After tasting those vegetable pizzas, my husband and I felt it really delicious and fell in love with them.
Pizza is the most popular junk food in the whole world and we just eat it to satisfy our cravings. So it has no connection with health. Then also I use lots of veggies as its toppings to make it more colorful and tasty as well.
As pizza is originally coming from authentic Italian cuisine, so to make it as perfect as them, must use all the basic ingredients they used in their recipes. As I always prepare all of my pizzas following their rules.
Such as, firstly, they use all-purpose flour or plain maida and yeast for making a soft pizza base. Secondly, their tomato-based pizza sauce. Thirdly, a generous amount of creamy mozzarella cheese. Lastly, the use of garlic, oregano(fresh or dry), and olive oil make it different from others. So get that perfect Italian flavor must follow all steps I mentioned in this recipe.
Though people who have a healthy eating habits, mostly replace maida with whole wheat flour and yeast with the baking powder & baking soda combination. Even you do the same if you don’t like to use those things or not available around. However, must use cheese in it to enjoy the stretchiness of mozzarella with its every bite. Actually, that is the main attraction of this dish. And double or extra layers of cheese can do it perfectly. But if you are worried about calories, then use just a single layer of cheese.
Initially, I used a store-bought ready-made pizza base and tomato ketchup as pizza sauce. But I always missed the taste I got in my favorite domino’s pizza. After several attempts, finally, I successfully started making my homemade pizza base and pizza sauce. So from then I never bought it from the market.
I always prepare my pizza dough with yeast, as I feel through the perfect fermentation process yeast only brings that exact fluffiness. And that fluffy dough will help you to get pizza shops like soft pizza bread. Though the taste of your pizza bread also depends on yeast’s quantity and quality too. Means a little more use of the exact quantity of yeast can spoil the taste of the bread even old unpacked yeast won’t give you a good result. That I get it from my long term experience. It’s my several times tasted full-proof recipe, so I hope every detail of this recipe will help you to get the best result.
Tips for making best vegetable pizza recipe
Do you want to make a pizza having an authentic taste just like a pizza restaurant served, then don’t use a store-bought ready-made base? However, a ready-made pizza base is best for a quick result.
Try to use dry active yeast from the new packet to get the best pizza dough. Once cut the packet, first sealed it properly. Then keep it in an airtight container to use later 2-3 times.
You may simply store the rest amount of the dough in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. After first wrapping it in a cling film paper then keep it in an airtight container.
You can make two regular size pizzas or one medium and one small or a large pizza from the same quantity I used to make my dough.
Even you may use capsicum, mushrooms, jalapeño, cauliflower or broccoli, spinach, and tomato as the toppings of your vegetable pizzas recipe. But if you are a beginner, before using mushrooms, cauliflower and broccoli must sauté in oil with pepper and chopped garlic otherwise its smell exists.
Though I prefer lengthwise cut vegetables for use in my pizzas, however, you may cut them as square or cubes as per your choice.
Even for making it tastier, you may mix goat cheese with mozzarella too.
If you don’t have oregano you can use little dry-roasted powdered carom seeds or ajwain seeds. Don’t worry it wonderfully works.
