Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, wheat flour, and salt. In a separate small bowl, mix baking soda, baking powder, and 1 tbsp of oil. Add this mixture along with the curd to the flour. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Cover and let it rest.

Step 2: Sauté the Toppings

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Add sliced onion and bell pepper and sauté for a minute. Add sliced mushrooms and tomato. Season with salt, 1 tsp chilli flakes, and 1 tsp oregano. Sauté briefly to partially cook the vegetables, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Pizza Sauce

In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add chopped garlic and onion, and sauté until translucent. Pour in the fresh tomato puree. Add sugar, vinegar, and salt. Cook until the sauce thickens considerably. Finish by adding ½ tsp oregano and ½ tsp chilli flakes. Mix well and cook for another minute.

Step 4: Cook the Pizza Base

Take the rested dough and dust it with flour. On a floured surface, use your fingers to press and spread the dough into a round pizza base. Prick the surface with a fork. Place the base in a non-stick pan on low heat. Cover and cook for a few minutes until one side is lightly cooked. Flip the base.

Step 5: Assemble and Cook the Pizza

On the cooked side of the base (now facing up), spread the prepared tomato sauce. Top with grated mozzarella cheese, followed by the sautéed vegetables. Add fresh basil leaves. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on very low heat until the cheese is fully melted and the bottom of the pizza is crisp and golden brown. Drizzle with a little olive oil, slice, and serve hot.

• If you have time, you can ferment the dough overnight with yeast instead of using baking soda and powder for a more authentic flavor.

• The dough should be soft and slightly runny, which allows it to be spread easily with fingers without a rolling pin.

• Cook the pizza on low heat to ensure the base gets crispy without burning and the cheese melts perfectly.

• Cook one side of the base more than the other. Apply toppings on the side that is cooked well.
