Cabbage Pizza
August 16th, 2007 filed under Fusion
Cabbage pizza is a nice twist to traditional pizza with touch of Indian spices.
Makes 2 medium pizzas.
Ingredients:
- Dough
- 2 3/4 cups All Purpose flour (Plain flour or Maida)
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- White Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons All Purpose flour (Plain flour or Maida)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Cabbage Topping
- 3 cups sliced cabbage
- 1/2 thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (Green coriander)
- 2 chopped green chilies
Method:
Dough:
- Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water and let it sit for about 20 minutes or until the yeast becomes frothy.
- Add sugar, salt and oil to the flour and mix well.
- Add the yeast water and make into a dough. The dough should be soft and a little sticky. Add more water if needed.
- Cover the dough and let it sit for about four hours. The dough should be double in volume.
- Knead the dough well using a little dry flour.
White Sauce:
- Heat the oil in a small heavy saucepan over low-medium heat.
- Add the flour and cook until the flour changes into a light brown color.
- Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. Continue cooking slowly until it is smooth and thick. Add the salt and black pepper.
Cabbage Topping:
Mix the cabbage, bell pepper, cilantro, and green chilies with the white sauce.
Pizza:
- Pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees, placing a pizza stone inside for about 30 minutes so the pizza stone will be hot.
- Divide the dough in to two equal parts and roll into two 8 inch diameter pizzas.
- Place over greased cookie sheets. Put about a half teaspoon of olive oil over the pizza. Evenly spread the cabbage mixture onto the pizza.
- Slide the cookie sheet on the pizza stone and let it cook for about five minutes.
- To make a crispy pizza crust, remove the pizza from the cookie sheet and place over the pizza stone.
- Let it cook for about 7 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown.
love your pizza recipe.it was the first one i ever tried, wondering whether the smell of yeast would overpower me as it had once before when i had a disasterous encounter with homemade bread.
This was marvelous!! I added my own toppings, including cheese cause I just love it. I also did not bother rolling out the dough. Instead, I put a sheet of baking parchment over the cookie sheet and with well oiled hands, simply patted the dough into a nice round shape. After adding the toppings i just lifted the paper and put it over the hot baking stone. This way makes clean up a snap and the pizza holds its perfect shape!! Do try it!!

Hi Manjula Aunty! Thank you very much for the cabbage pizza! I just had it for lunch. I have been struggling to cook vegetarian dishes since I decided to raise my daughter up as a vegan.

Thank you so much Aunty. My husband even loved it. I cant wait to cook other recipes of yours….When my 2 year old daughter was eating your cabbage pizza…she said…” yummy…yummy..yummy” while eating and ” emmm….yummy…emmm…” then she said in chinese “haw che” means delicious……..!!!hahaha……..love you Aunty

Hi everything went well with my pizza preparation – expect the bread. The bread inside was not properly cooked. So can you please let me know what might have gone wrong.
