Bread Pizza

Bread Pizza

This is one of my favorite recipes. I make bread pizzas quite often for breakfast. They are quick as well as quite filling, nutritious and appetizing!!

Ingredients

§         Assorted veggies  – 1 cup, chopped very finely *

§         Milk                    – 6 tbsp **

§         Semolina (Sooji)   – 5 tsp  ***

§         Bread                 – 5 slices

§         Pepper powder     – ¼ tsp

§         Salt                   – as per taste

§         Ginger                – ¼ tsp grated

§         Chaat Masala      – ½ tsp

§         Green chilly         – ½ tsp (can increase/decrease based on chilliness required)

§         Cheese               – ½ cup grated (Optional)

§         Oil/Butter for cooking

Method

1.      Topping

• Mix together all the veggies, semolina, salt, pepper powder, green chillies, ginger, chaat masala (All the dry ingredients) 
• Add 2 tbsp of milk and mix. Add another 2 tbsp of milk and mix. Add rest of the milk (2 tbsp) and mix the ingredients properly. Do not put all the milk in one go. Refer ** (below) if semolina granules are quite coarse. Make sure the topping is thick paste.

2.      Divide the topping mixture in 5 parts.

3.      Spread the topping on the bread slices evenly.

4.      Grease the griddle with oil or butter. Heat the griddle on low-medium heat.

5.      Place the bread slices over the hot griddle.

6.      Baste*** little bit of butter or oil over the bread topping.

7.      Instead of basting with butter/oil, you can spread a generous amount of grated cheese.

8.      Flip the bread slices when they are crisp and golden brown. Flip it fast! Flipping should be done very carefully as the topping may slip off the slices.

9.      Press the bread slices a bit so that the topping clings to the bread, cooks evenly and has smooth surface.

10.  Cook till it’s done. It takes approximately 1 to 2 minutes each side. When cooked the surface becomes crisp and veggies soft and mushy in texture.

Serving

§         Serve hot bread pizza slices with chutney and/or any tangy sauce.  

*   Pick soft veggies like Capsicum, Onions, Cabbage, Carrot, Sweet Corn etc. Choosing the veggies is totally upto your taste J. If you choose veggies which take long to cook, then blanch them before adding them to other soft veggies.

Cut the veggies before hand, a day before or so, and your preparation time reduces to just few minutes!! J

** If the granules of Semolina are quite coarse, then increase the milk amount by 2-3 tbsp. Milk is required to bind the veggies and semolina into a thick paste. So you can alter the amount accordingly to get the desired thick topping.

*** Sooji – In Hindi language semolina is termed as sooji. 
      Baste - To brush or spoon liquid over a food before or during cooking.
