Simple and Easy Homemade Chicken Pizza with Cheddar Cheese


This pizza recipe is the simplest and most affordable ingredients are used in it to get a soft fluffy texture inside this yummy pizza and with a slight crunchiness base! I am feeling so hungry as I am writing this recipe!






This recipe is adapted from my mum's delicious homemade pizza which she used to bake with some slices of pineapple and we really enjoy her pizza. 






In this recipe, I have not include pineapple slices on the top but I suggest you to add some before baking and you will certainly notice the sour and sweet taste which makes nice combination. But without the pineapple, this pizza taste really good.. a much creamier topping with cheddar cheese and those chopped parsley taste!








Read my step by step method carefully --

Ingredients for the dough:

2 cup plain flour/All purpose flour
1/4 cup of milk powder
1 tsp sugar (white or brown, I have used the brown)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp dry yeast or instant dry yeast
1 tsp black pepper to dust
3/4 cup of water (you may need less)
1 tsp refined vegetable oil


Ingredients for the garnishing/filling/Seasoning

1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of carrot - half fried thinly chopped in round shape
1/4 cup of processed mushroom 
2 tbsp processed green peas
3 tbsp chicken pieces half fried with 1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
3 tbsp ketchup sauce mixed with 1 tsp chili sauce

Method --

Combined flour, milk powder, sugar, salt, yeast and pepper.

      


Now add water, 2 tbsp at a time till you get a very sticky dough (be careful, your dough must not be dry, otherwise it will not be soft)






Dust with some flour all over the dough




In the meantime, preheat your oven 200 degrees C for 10 minutes maximum and start greasing your baking tray well with margarine and sprinkle flour all over to make sure your pizza will not stick!



Divide the dough into 4 equal parts



Flatten the dough with the palm of your hand or your can roll them as well but I prefer to flatten them as you can have difficulties by the stickiness in rolling them. Cover with a clean cloth and let raise for 30 minutes.


                                      






Now for garnishing--




Start by adding one spoon of chili sauce and ketchup mixture





Spread it gently all over each dough



Add other ingredients layer by layer starting by half of the grated cheese and end with the other half of the grated cheese.




 Bake for exactly 30 minutes on 180 degree C. Let cool for 5 minutes.





Cut the edges before removing the pizza carefully with the help of a bread knife.




Here your Pizza is ready!

Easy Gooey Eggless Chocolate Chip cookies

Dear Sweet Bakers! Today I am sharing one of my favorite cookies, these are always ready to bake whenever I am craving for them to devour! Very crispy outside, soft, crumbly and chewy from the center, yum..m.. the chocolaty taste..chocolate chips cookies.




You will certainly love the last bite as well..




This works as a special treat with family or friends. So today I am showing you the best eggless chocolate chips cookies that you will find the taste and texture same as the egg cookies. 




For this, I would like to point out 2 important ingredients that you will need to get this awesome texture and taste of the cookies -- wheat flour and light brown sugar and the most important is to freeze the dough than chilling like others do. 





Freezing a choco chip cookie dough works best because during baking, the fat (margarine) start to spread too much than it should thus, your cookies may end up into flat, crispy and hard. Hence, make sure to freeze your cookie dough for 20 minutes or 30 then make balls from it and bake. 




You may encount an advantage by freezing as if you have made too much cookies in quantity and cannot bake all at a time, all you need is to keep the dough in freezer, it stays fresh for more than 2 months, so you just take it out from freezer to bake any time you want a sweet treat and not to forget, whole wheat flour, margarine and brown sugar are added to give a good texture, taste and healthy as well. 
So lets start:


Ingredients:
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp bicarbonate (baking soda)
200 g margarine
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 tbsp milk


Method: 

In a big recipient, sift plain flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well and keep aside.


  


In another bowl, add room temperature margarine, whisk with a folk or whisker until light. 


 


                                           Add brown sugar, whisk until thick and creamy. 


 


Add milk, whisk for 4-5 minutes until fluffy.





Add 1 tbsp vanilla essence and mix.




Now add the margarine mixture to the flour mixture and add the chocolate chips.

 


Whisk altogether well until incorporated. 






Wrap the sticky mixture dough in a plastic and place in freezer for 20 - 30 minutes. In the mean time, preheat your oven for 15 minutes on 200 degree C and grease your baking tray with thin coat of margarine then dust with flour. 





After freezing, take the dough out and make 1 inch sized balls out from it and press the top of it very lightly to prevent domed shape cookies during baking. Leave 2 cm distance between each cookies as they will spread during baking. 





Bake for 15 - 20 minutes on 180 degrees C or until the edges are golden brown. 




The cookies will be slightly soft when taking out from oven then will harden as long as it cools, so be careful not to over-bake -- like waiting for it to brown, else wise, it will turn hard and taste will be affected. 





It should bake from inside as well, make sure the edges are golden brown and when you touch with a folk, you must feel the outer is crispy and crunchy though inside is soft.

Enjoy this special treat with tea.
