Welcome to my channel
Today I am going to demonstrate how to make pizza at home
This popular food is of Italian origin
One of the main dishes of Italians
But I am going to show you how to customize to suit our taste buds
Ambulthiyal Pizza –a pizza I've been preparing for sometime
using Sri Lankan style Ambulthiyal fish
Let's first see how we make the pizza dough
500g of plain flour
we do not add an excessive amount of yeast
unlike when preparing fish buns
So, 1 table spoon is enough for this recipe
1 table spoon of salt
1 table spoon of sugar
oil
olive oil or vegetable oil
warm water
Now let's prepare the dough
Add about 2 tablespoons of oil at this stage
about 250 ml water, water temperature around 37 ͦ C
Knead it well
Make sure it's not too soft
The dough has to be slightly firm
Rest it for 1 to one and half hours
Allow the dough to rise
Sprinkle some flour
and cover it with a wrap and let it sit for 1 to 1 and half hours
After the pizza dough has risen like this
I'm going to divide the dough into small balls
about 200 g sized small balls
This is the tray I'm going to use
Like this, I'm going to separate the dough
This too has to rest for 15 minutes
This way the pizza dough will have extra time to rise just a bit more
Now let's see how to do the topping
This is the ambulthiyal
I have broken the fish into small pieces
I have also removed the fish bones
thinly cut capsicum
pineapple
baby spinach
sliced red onion
As you can see all these ingredients are not chunky pieces
mozzeralla cheese
mixed herbs, an essential ingredient
chilli flakes
salt
pizza sauce
you can get this at the supermarket but I have made this sauce myself
Flatten the dough like this on a lighly floured surface
Some uses the roller pin
place it on the tray
Stretch it to fit the tray
Pull it towards the edge
This is the professional method, try your best to do it like this at home
Make sure the middle is not lumpy
To cook it well make some holes using a fork,
I have kept all the ingredients for the topping within my reach
Spoon on the sauce and spread it on the top
We don't spread the sauce on the edge
We don't use excessive amounts
You would not want to make your pizza soggy
Sprinkle with cheese
This is the base of the pizza
Now we are going to place the topping
Lay out the spinach leaves like this
Next I will add Ambulthiyal fish
I remind you again to remove the bones of the fish before you place pieces on the pizza
Next pineapple
I will add raw ingredients last
To ensure they are cooked well
Squeeze the excess water to avoid a soggy result
Capsicum
You can customize it as you wish
Add only a little of mushroom if you want mushroom too
Mushrooms don't suit this topping of course!
Salt
Mixed herbs spices
More cheese
Chilli flakes or pepper
More cheese
That's our pizza
Bake the pizza in the 250°C preheated oven
Place the tray on the top shelf
Looks like it's going to be ready soon
Check your pizza once in a while and turn it to cook evenly
This is the Ambulthiyal pizza
The crust looks good, golden brown
Not soggy
Looks appetizing
You can now cut it
using a cutter wheel like this
Some use a frying pan to cook the pizza but the oven baked pizza is always better
In this video, you saw how I cooked the pizza from scratch
using a new topping
You can try this too
Try it, taste it and let us know your comments
Until next time
