1. Firstly, in a large mixing bowl take half cup of hot/warm water and then add 1.5 tsp Sugar to it.
2. Add 1/4 tsp of instant dry yeast. Sugar helps to activate yeast.
3. Give a good mix.
4. Then add 1.5 tbsp butter, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and then add 1.5 tbsp milk powder to it.
5. Add 1.5 cups of All-purpose flour/ maida and salt to taste.
6. Combine by hand for a minute.
7. Mix it well and its very sticky then knead it with your palm at least for 15 minutes.
8. Now the dough will get elasticity and it will stop sticking with hands.
9. The dough is soft, smooth and elastic and also bounces back when pressed. Tuck the dough and form to a ball.
10. Place the dough in an air tight container and grease the container with oil to prevent dough from sticking to container. Close the lid tightly and keep the dough in refrigerator for 24 hours.
11. Dough has raised and doubled in size indicating well fermented. Punch the dough with fist to release down the air.
12. Tuck the dough and place the dough on butter greased pizza plate or tray. Alternatively, dust the tray with cornmeal or all-purpose flour. Flatten the dough by stretching with both hands.
13. Leaving a cm or two and create a dent. This helps the crust to fluff slightly on the edges. Then prick the centre of dough with the help of fork to prevent pizza base from fluffing up and apply butter and mixed herbs mixture over it.
14. Spread Pizza sauce generously by leaving the sides and then spread grated mozzarella cheese over it.
15 Next, top it with veggies of your choice. I have top it with onion, green bell pepper/capsicum, orange bell pepper, corn and olives.
