Tandoori Paneer Pizza

Ingredients

• For the Pizza Dough
• 3 cups All Purpose Flour
• ¾ cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 2½ tsp instant yeast
• ¾ tsp salt
• ¾ tsp sugar
• 1½ cups water
• For the Marinade
• ¼ cup yogurt
• 1 tbsp garam masala
• 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves (powdered (optional))
• 2 tsp ginger (finely grated or paste)
• 2 tsp garlic (finely grated or paste)
• ½ tsp turmeric
• ½ tsp chili powder (or less if you don’t like spicy food)
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp cilantro leaves
• 2 drops red food coloring (optional)
• ½ cup paneer cheese (cubed)
• For the Pizza
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tbsp chili sauce (I used Malaysian Sambal)
• 1 onion (thinly sliced)
• 3 bell peppers (thinly sliced (a combination of colors looks beautiful but anything works))
• 1 medium potato (thinly sliced)
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella
• 2 tbsp cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

2. In a medium sized bowl, toss in all the dry ingredients and mix.
3. Add water, and mix it in (I use my hands but a wooded spoon works too) until a soft dough forms. Mix for at least 30 seconds.
4. Cover the bowl and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours. The dough should be more than double in volume.
6. Mix all the ingredients together. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade.
7. To the remaining marinade, add the paneer cubes.
8. Mix and let marinade for 15 to 30 minutes.
10. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
11. Slice the potatoes, onions, and peppers, I use a mandolin. Keep the potatoes separate from the onions and peppers.
12. When you’re ready to start the pizza: Pull out half the dough and spread onto a well oiled 13×18 inch rimmed baking sheet. (You can either freeze the other half of the dough or make 2 pizzas) I like to tear the dough into 4 pieces and put on all four corners of the sheet. Then I press it out and have them meet in the middle. The dough should make a thin layer covering the entire sheet tray.
13. Spread out the dough on a sheet pan or round pizza pan.
14. Mix the tomato paste, honey and chili sauce. Spread onto the pizza dough in a thin layer.
15. Slice the potato. In a bowl, mix the slices of potato with 1 tbsp of the paneer marinade and coat evenly. Spread the slices onto the pizza.
16. Spread the onion and pepper mixture on top of the potatoes.
17. Pick out the paneer cubes from the marinade, place evenly over the pizza.
18. Place the pizza in the oven for 20 minutes.
19. Pull out and sprinkle the mozzarella over the pizza.
20. Put back in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
21. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve.
