Daring Bakers Challenge - Pizza!!!

This month's challenge was hosted by Rosa at Rosa's Yummy Yums. She chose Pizza!!! After my dismal performance at these challenges for the past two months, I decided to finish this challenge way before the deadline.



One of my weekend activities is cooking for the week. So, I made the pizza dough on Sunday and I made the pizzas during the week. Since we did not have any restriction on the toppings or sauce, ,my first thought was to make traditional pizza sauce and toppings. Then I threw the idea out of the window and wanted to make Indian version of pizza. I decided to make tandoori chicken pizza and spicy chicken sausage pizza.

No after pictures on this since it was gobbled up before I could take a picture :)

The sauce I used was Tomato yogurt sauce based on this recipe. I modified the recipe a bit with quantity of tomato used and the leaves. I have to say though the tomato yogurt sauce did do better with the chicken sausage pizza.


The Cheese I used was homemade paneer.



One of the activities to complete this month's challenge was a picture of yourself throwing the pizza up in the air. DH tried his best to a take a picture of the dough in the air. But this is all we could get :)



The pizza was a huge hit!! DH loved the pizza. All my son wanted was the crust. I will definitely be making this again.
