Quick Homemade Pizza

Ingredients

• 2 cup all purpose flour (plus extra for dusting) - دقيق أبيض
• 2 teaspoon baking powder - باكينج باودر
• 1 cup yoghurt (Greek) - زبادي
• 1 pinch salt - ملح
• For the sauce:
• 2 medium tomatoes - طماطم
• 2 tablespoon tomato paste - معجون طماطم / صلصة طماطم
• 1/2 cup water - ماء
• 3 tablespoon olive oil - زيت زيتون
• 1 small onion (chopped) - بصلة
• 2 medium garlic cloves minced - فصوص ثوم
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar - سكر
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano (or thyme) - أوريجانو/ زعتر
• salt and pepper (to taste) - ملح و فلفل

Step by step

1. Start with the tomato sauce to allow it to cool before adding to the pizza. Place the tomatoes, tomato paste and water in a small blender. Pulse carefully making sure to keep some tomato chunks for texture.
2. In a small pot, sauté onions in olive oil until soft. Add the minced garlic, leave to cook for about 30 seconds then add the prepared tomato sauce.
3. Add sugar, and season with oregano, salt and pepper and leave to simmer on lowest heat for about 15 minutes until sauce has nicely thickened. Set aside to cool.
4. To prepare pizza dough, combine flour with baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the yoghurt and mix. Use your hands to bring it together into a dough. Sprinkle more flour if the dough is sticky.
5. Dust a clean working surface and a rolling pin with flour. Roll out dough into desired pizza shape and place it on baking tray. You can also just flatten the dough onto the tray with your hands.
6. Add some of the tomato sauce over the pizza dough leaving the edges clean. Then top your pizza with your favourite toppings and cheese.
7. Bake in a preheated 180C oven for 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
