Method :-

For dough :-

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water(make sure that water should not hot. you should check with your finger when you put into water it should not hurt. In hot water yeast will die.) with sugar. And rest it for 10 mins. If you see forming bubbles in yeast mix then consider it is ready.
2. Take all purpose flour, add salt,olive oil, yeast mix and make a soft dough.
3. For better result,take some all purpose flour in hands and on counter top (it helps to prevent sticking your hands) and knead dough for 5 min. applying pushing and forward.
4. Transfer the dough into bowl and apply some olive oil on top . Cover the dough with kitchen cloth and place in warm place(it would be great if temperature between 70-75 F)
5. Set bowl aside for approx. 2 hours depending on your active yeast.
6. When dough get double in size then take out and once again knead dough for 5 min. and punch it down to eliminates air bubble . Once again set bowl aside for 30 min.

For Gravy (Pizza souce) :-

1. Cut paneer into your desired shape.
2. Heat a pan and add butter.
3. Once hot add onion and garlic paster & saute for 2 min.
4. Add capsicum and saute for another 1 min.
5. Add tomato puree.
6. Add all dry spices – Garam masala/tikka masala, coriander powder, peprika, Italian seasoning and salt.
7. Mix well and let it cook for 2 min.
8. Pour 1/2 cup water and cook for 5 min.
9. Add cream and sugar and cook for 2 min.
10. It should not watery consistency . It should thick like pizza souce.

Mix it together :-

1. Once dough and gravy ready. I usually do take a large size round pan and grease with oil and put the dough in middle of the pan and stretch it with your fingers.(I usually avoid rolling with rolling pin). Grease oil in edges to get crispy.
2. preheat oven to 425 degrees F. If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone(For perfect crust pizza, you should buy pizza stone, Its worth it. Even you can make perfect naan in pizza stone) ,you may place your pizza souce (gravy) and Cheese(lots of cheese ! Of course how can we forget )  on the dough, and bake immediately. If you don’t have pizza stone then you can partly cook in oven and then place your gravy and cook.  Bake pizza until pizza crust are gloden brown.
3. And Final step don’t forget to enjoy while having ymmmyyyyyyy pizza !  .
