Tandoori Chicken Pizza with Peri Peri Fries

Servings : Serves 3-4

Our favourite home-made pizza, better than any bought pizza, any day! Served here with some fiery hot peri peri fries.

Ingredients for Pizza Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose/plain flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast (use 2 tsp. for colder climates)
  • 2 pinches baking powder
  • warm milk mixed with a bit of water for kneading

Ingredients for Peri Peri Fries

  • 1 kg potatoes
  • 1 tbsp margarine
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

First, prepare the pizza sauce and toppings using these recipes:

Pizza Sauce

Pizza Toppings or Spicy Chicken Topping

Next, prepare the Pizza Dough

Mix all the dry ingredients and the oil, then slowly start adding the warm milk a little at a time.

Get it to a soft dough, the softer the better, knead it very well for at least 8 minutes or more if possible. Dab a touch of oil all over the dough, then cover it and place it somewhere warm. Leave it to rise to double its size, takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the weather.

Once risen, punch it down, give it a quick knead and then roll it out to about 12 inches diameter and place on your greased pizza pan/tray.

Again cover the tray with a light cloth/towel and let the base rest/rise slightly for about 15-20 minutes. For step by step instructions, check HERE

Peri Peri Fries

Peel the potatoes and cut them into strips then fry them twice to make them extra crispy.

Heat 1 tbsp. of margarine, then add 1 tbsp. of spanish paprika and 1 tsp. of chilli powder plus some salt to taste.

Once the margarine starts to bubble, get the pan off the heat and slowly add the fries into it, stirring gently with a wooden spoon to make sure all the fries are well coated. Squeeze in some lemon juice if you like and serve!
