Pizza Pie

Ingredients for 4 Pies

Pie Dough

• Plain flour 1.5 cup
• Instant yeast 1/2 tbsp
• Sugar 1/2 tbsp
• Milk powder 1.5 tbsp
• Oil 2 tbsp
• Salt 1/2 tsp
• Luke warm water 1/2 cup or a little more

Pie Filling

• Chicken 200 grams, cut into small cubes
• Mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, carrot, beans, corn etc. I used frozen)
• Ginger and garlic paste 1 tsp
• Onions 2 tbsp, chopped
• Salt to taste
• Coriander powder 3/4 tsp
• Cumin powder 3/4 tsp
• Paprika powder 1 tsp
• Onion powder 1/2 tsp
• Garlic powder 1/2 tsp
• Black pepper to taste
• Oil 2 tbsp
• Mozzarella cheese as needed
• Green olives as needed
• Black olives as needed

Topping

• Egg yolks 2
• Nigella seeds (Kalonji)
• Cherry tomatoes 2, halved

Preparation

1. Pie Dough: In a mixing bowl, add flour, yeast, sugar, milk powder, oil and salt.
2. Mix well using your hands until the mixture becomes sandy.
3. Add luke warm water little by little and start kneading. I used a little more than half cup.
4. The dough should not be sticky at all. It should be exactly like the “aata” we use to make roti. To achieve this, use less water and knead the dough for 7-8 minutes until smooth and lump free.
5. Cover and allow the dough to double in size (30-45 minutes) depending on the climate.
6. Pie Filling: Add all the ingredients under pie filling into a pan (except mozzarella) and cook on low flame until the moisture from the pan evaporates. Keep aside.
7. Once the dough is double in size, take it out and deflate using your hands.
8. Divide the dough into 4 part. Roll each part into a ball.
9. Roll each ball like a roti (same thickness as roti).
10. Place pie filling on the roti and top with loads of mozzarella cheese.
11. Shape into a D-shape pie. Repeat for the remaining three pies.
12. Seal the ends using the fork (as demonstrated in the video).
13. Poke the top of the pies using fork.
14. Apply whisked egg yolk on the pies and sprinkle nigella seeds on top.
15. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10-12 minutes using upper and lower rod until the pie is golden in color.
16. Serve immediately.
17. Enjoy!
