Step by step recipe for chicken pizza

For making Chicken Tikka, marinate chicken with salt, ginger, garlic, garam masala powder, lime, butter milk, turmeric, chili flakes. Keep aside for 1 hour or more.

Heat a pan and sprinkle some oil. Add chicken pieces and stir well.

Cover and allow to slow roast on small flame till dry. Stir in between

Once all the chicken tikka are roasted cut into smaller pieces and keep aside.

Mix the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, butter and a little lukewarm water and mix well. Keep aside.

Knead for some time, till you can feel that the dough is smooth and soft.

Make a smooth ball. Rub a little oil in your hands and pat the top of the dough, cover nicely and keep for 1-2 hours, till the dough is double the size.

Meanwhile, cut the Capsicum (bell pepper), onion, tomatoes. Grate the cheese and keep aside.

Once the pizza dough becomes double in size, punch down and divide into three parts.

Take one part and place on a pizza pan. With your palm gently press the dough starting from the center to the sides to make a big round base of about ½ inch thickness.

Poke the pizza base with a fork to release bubbles.
