Paneer Topped Pizza From Scratch

Paneer Pizza from Scratch_These pizzas topped with homemade paneer, made from a2 milk, are perfect for a weekend supper.  Making a simple cheese from milk is very very easy and means that if you cannot have regular cow’ milk you need not miss out on pizza. (Read more about a2 milk here).

For an even speedier supper use ready made pizza bases and tomato sauce. I like to make a big batch of tomato sauce, then freeze in individual portions for use in pizza and pasta.

Paneer Topped Pizza From Scratch

Servings: 4 servings
Author: Helen Best-Shaw
Prep Time20 mins
Cook Time15 mins
Raising45 mins
Total Time1 hr
Prevent your screen from going dark

Ingredients

For the Pizza Sauce:

  • Glug olive oil
  • 1 small onion –chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic – chopped
  • 550 ml bottle of passata
  • Salt & Pepper to season

For the Pizza Dough:

  • 200 ml warm water
  • 1 x 7g sachet instant yeast
  • 300 g strong white bread flour
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

For the Sauce:

  • Gently sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil until it starts to turn golden, reduce the heat and add the passata. Fill the bottle about a third full with water give a good shake to rinse and add to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Gently cook for about 20 minutes stirring from time to time until reduced by about a third.
  • The sauce freezes well.

For the Pizza Dough:

  • Pour the water into bowl, add the yeast and swirl until it is dissolved, leave for 5 mins if needed to activate it. Add the other ingredients.
  • Knead with the dough hook attachment of your mixer on the lowest speed for about 4 minutes until a smooth stretchy dough has formed (if you knead by hand it will take longer).
  • Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for about 45 minutes. It should more than double in size.
  • Turn out onto a floured board or worktop and gently knock the dough back. Divide the dough into 4.
  • Gently shape each quantity of dough into a pizza shapes on a baking tray or pizza stone sprinkled with polenta to stop it sticking.
  • Spread with the tomato sauce then arrange your toppings and sprinkle with crumbled a2 paneer.
  • Bake in a very hot oven (GM7 / 220c / 425F) for about 12 – 15 minutes until pizza is golden around the edges (the paneer will not melt like regular cheese does).
