Burger Pizza

Burger and pizza both in one?? hmm… sounds interesting, right? This is what came to my mind too when I heard about it and saw an advertisement on television. But, it is quite simple to make and all you need is a basic bread/pizza  dough, some pizza sauce, mayonnaise, few veggies of your choice, few seasonings and of course some grated cheese. Not convincing, ehh? Just read the recipe below to believe what I am saying 🙂

Ingredients:

For the base:

• Whole wheat flour 90-100 gm (3/4 cup)
• Maida 30-35 gm (1/4cup)
• Salt to taste
• Sugar 1/2 tsp
• Instant yeast 1/4 tsp
• Olive oil 1 tbsp
• Milk plus lukewarm water 1/2 cup minus 1-2 tbsp

For the stuffing:

• Mozarella/cheddar cheese 100 gm
• Onion 1 small
• Tomato 1 small
• Bell pepper few pieces
• Paneer cubes 2 tbsp (optional)
• Black and green olives 5-6
• Jalapenos to taste
• Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
• Oregano as required
• Chilli flakes 1 tsp
• Pepper powder to taste

Method:

Pizza sauce :

• Saute 2-3 finely chopped garlic, 1/2 of an onion and half a cup of tomato puree.
• Add little sugar, salt, chilli flakes, oregano and 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce.
• Cook well till it thickens. Pizza sauce is ready.

For the burger base:

• Mix all the dry ingredients including the instant yeast. Make a soft smooth and pliable dough using the milk and water mixture and oil.
• Knead for 10-12 minutes just like any bread dough. Keep the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl covered with cling film for an hour or more till it doubles in size.
• Gently punch the dough to knock out the gases and knead gently for a minute or so.
• The dough for making the burger base is ready. Divide the dough into four equal parts.
• Take 2 portions of the dough, each weighing 50-60 gm approximately and roll it into a 4 roti/disc of four inches in diameter.

• Apply pizza sauce and mayonnaise on one disc, sprinkle marinated paneer, veggies of your choice (onion, capsicum, olives, tomato etc ).
• Spread grated cheese, oregano and chilli flakes on top and cover it with the other disc. Apply some butter on top and sprinkle some more chilli flakes and oregano.

• Keep aside for 20-25 minutes. Bake at 180 degree celsius for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
• Burger pizza is ready to serve. Enjoy….

Notes:

• You can make two burger pizzas with the above proportion. Increase the measurements to make more of the same.
