- Finally as an optional ingredient, add soya sauce, mix and switch.
- Keep these pieces aside.

- Gently collect the dough, cut into four equal portions.
- Dust the workspace, flatten the dough and roll into a thick circular base.

Notes
Tips: 1) For making veg pizza, just replace the chicken pieces with paneer/mushroom and follow the same recipe. 2) To get a properly doubled dough, use dry yeast which is newly bought & active. If the water does not get a foamy mix in a few minutes means the yeast is not working. 3) Furthermore, if you are concerned about using yeast, still you can do pizza without doubling the dough. But the pizza would be like a flatbread without compromising the taste. 4) Also, if you are using a readymade pizza base, reduce the baking time to 5 mins until cheese melts. And for stovetop time it would be 8 mins. 5) Finally, the toppings are purely our choice like capsicum, onions, olives, peppers, baby corn and mushrooms. Use whatever you like, but do not crowd the pizza with toppings as it is difficult to bake.
