A fusion of Indian spices and traditional pizza, topped with a medley of colorful vegetables.

Method

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and olive oil. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, kneading until a soft dough forms. Let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
While dough rises, prepare the vegetables by slicing and dicing. Cook paneer or tofu in a skillet until golden brown.
Once dough has risen, roll it out into a pizza shape. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce (optional) or olive oil, then add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Top with cooked vegetables, paneer or tofu, and sprinkle garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and black pepper. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
