Making pizza dough has become a de-riguer thing for me these days, thanks to the epicure in my son, Adarsh. Bloom some yeast in some warm water, make other additions like salt, sugar/honey, olive oil/yogurt/potato, mix in flour (mix of all-purpose and whole-wheat/atta), let it rest for a while, knead it, and you have a multipurpose dough ready.
If you've kneaded dough for rotis, you can swing the proportions too, after a couple of times of measured practice...
Top it with goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers and you've got yourself a gourmet pizza.
Top it with home-made tomato sauce, some mozzarella cheese, and you've got your kid happy.
Add mushrooms, pepper, onions, olives, jalapenos, and you have a vegetable pizza
Make a white sauce, slather on the rolled out pizza dough, add broccoli, corn or spinach with some pecorino-romano/parmesan/cheddar cheese.
The options for pizza are endless..
Or stuff it with curried cauliflower/onion/potato/left-over curries, and you can call it stuffed naan-kulcha
Or make it plain, and you have some yummy naan...
I also used some tile leftover from a bathroom remodel as my pizza stone, and the oven at 500 F, and you have a close recreation of the brick-oven pizzeria...
Get your palette ready, and color away to the varied possibilities...
