Pizza is all time favourite fast food for all of us. Now a days we all love to bake pizza for our family and specially for kids. But do you ever had steamed pizza? I love steamed food and hence tried making pizza by steaming. And interestingly it came out very tasty. They are soft and full of flavours.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
For the pizza base first take 3/4th teaspoon yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 cup warm water to a cup, stir and set aside for 6 to 8 minutes to broom the yeast.
* Step 2
Sieve all-purpose flour or maida and baking powder to a mixing bowl.
* Step 3
Make a well in the centre and add the broomed yeast mixture, chilli flakes,oregano,salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. You can add any other vegetable oil in place of olive oil.
* Step 4
Mix well with the flour and slowly make a soft dough by adding warm water as needed. I use almost 1/2 cup of water to make the dough.
* Step 5
It is necessary to knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes to make it soft and pliable. Cover the dough and keep in a warm place for about 2 hours.
* Step 6
Let the dough rise and in the meantime let us make the sauce and toppings.
* Step 7
Chop 2 tomatoes roughly and grind to make puree.
* Step 8
Chop 1 onion and 2-3 garlic cloves.
* Step 9
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and temper black peppers, cloves. Also add in crushed garlic.
* Step 10
Saute for few seconds and then add in chopped onion.
* Step 11
Cook until onion gets translucent and then pour in the tomato puree. Also add in 2 tablespoon of tomato ketchup to enhance colour.
* Step 12
Add in spices like chilli powder, curry powder, sugar, salt and dry herb(oregano).
* Step 13
Add in 1 cup of water and cook in medium heat for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Your thick pizza sauce is ready.
* Step 14
For the toppings, chop red & green capsicum in small pieces. Also chop onion in small pieces. You can also add some other toppings like mushroom, spinach etc.
* Step 15
Fill the steamer pot half with water and bring to boil. Place 2 layers of baking sheet to the the steamer pot (where we keep stuff to steam).
* Step 16
When the pizza dough becomes double in size, take out from mixing bowl to a work surface and punch 2-3 times. This will help to incorporate air to the dough.
* Step 17
Knead again for few minutes by stretching and folding method.
* Step 18
Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
* Step 19
Take one part and roll to make a round pizza. Try to make the sheet little thin like our regular roti.
* Step 20
Place the sheet over the round baking sheet which we placed in steamer.
* Step 21
Apply prepared pizza sauce over the round sheet.
* Step 22
Next place the toppings of your choice. I used capsicum,onion, sweet corn and boil kidney beans.
* Step 23
Lastly sprinkle shredded mozzarela, oregano and chilli flakes.
* Step 24
Place the pizza with baking sheet on the steamer pot and steam for 20 minutes.
* Step 25
After 20 minutes switch off the flame. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
* Step 26
Cut in triangles and serve immediately.
