Simple Pizza Recipe

For the Sauce
5 medium tomatoes
2 medium onions
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 capsicum/Green pepper
1 tablespoon of curry powder of your choice
Salt n pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch for thickening

Method for preparing Pizza sauce
Boil the above ingredients in a pan until it reaches your desired cooked thickness.

Ingredients for Pizza Dough
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup cassava flour (optional)
Salt to taste n a pinch or two of sugar 1 teaspoon of instant yeast
Warm water for mixing the dough

Method of Preparing Pizza dough

Mix all the dry ingredients then add warm water and form a firm but soft dough. Leave to rise.

Ingredients for Pizza Toppings

1 cup (I used a medium sized bowl) of shredded beef
1 cup shredded Cheddar or Mozzarella cheese or a bit of both
Capsicum/Green pepper rings
onion rings (note I used what was available, you can add or remove whatever you wish here)

Method of Preparing the Pizza
Roll out the pizza base into a round form. Spread the sauce on top evenly n generously. Add the shredded beef and spread evenly. Now spread the cheese all over on top. Be generous with the cheese. Finally add the capsicum n onion rings and anything else you wish to add. Then bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes depending on the heat of your oven. And that's it... Bon appetite.

So if you don't have an oven what do you do? Put the pizza on a heavy non stick pan with tight lid and put on high heat keeping and eye so it doesn't burn.

That's it,,,, let me know how it turns out or if you like the recipe... Love y'all.
