Instructions
- For preparing the base, add the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center, put the olive oil.
- Add water slowly and start to bring the dough together. Add the water little by little so that we don't get a watery dough.
- Knead till you get a soft non-sticky dough. Cover the bowl with cling film and allow to rest for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cover a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Make into a disc using your hand.
- Transfer to the baking pan. Prepare all the disc and transfer to the pan.
- Prick holes on the base and bake for 5 minutes. This will ensure that the base is well cooked.
- Take out from the oven. Spread some tomato paste, sprinkle oregano.
- Now sprinkle chicken, tomato, capsicum and olives intermediately and finally top with grated mozeralla cheese. Do the same till all the eight portions are done.
- Put the baking pan back into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes till the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm along with some salad!
Notes
The use of wholewheat makes a dense base... I would always prefer a normal base, but maybe next time try with a 50:50 mix!
