Ingredients you never would have thought of combining come together in an exciting new fashion, in this brilliant recipe! Absolutely healthy, this Mini Oats Bhakri Pizza is so tasty you won’t even realise it does not contain cheese. The main reason for this super taste is the fabulous homemade pizza sauce, an interesting mix of antioxidant-rich veggies in the topping, and the elegant seasonings used.
Since bhakris made of oats and wheat flour are used as the base, you should assemble this pizza just before serving. Otherwise the bhakri will get soggy. You can enjoy a helping of two Mini Oats Bhakri Pizzas occasionally.
Mini Oats Bhakri Pizza recipe - How to make Mini Oats Bhakri Pizza
For the pizza sauce- Make criss-cross on the base of the tomatoes and place them in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes or till the skin begins to peel.
- Drain the tomatoes, cool slightly, peel, deseed and roughly chop them and blend in a mixer to a smooth pulp. Keep aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the garlic and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
- Add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the prepared tomato pulp, oregano, chilli flakes, tomato ketchup, chilli powder and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside.
For the bhakri- Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead into a stiff dough using enough water.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
- Roll a portion of the dough into a 87 mm. (3½”) diameter circle.
- Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the bhakri on a slow flame till pink spots appear on both the sides.
