Healthy Bhakhri Pizza

Healthy Bhakhri Pizza

Hello folks,

Healthy eating and simple living is the secret to better life. This is very true but in today's world people get fade up with eating that simple food. People think that boiled food is for the old ones. Many of them may try healthy simple boiled food but skip it after seeing those yummy, hot, spicy and tasty street food.

Don't you think we should make food that is healthy and at the same time tempting. Though it is not going to help you as the boiled food but it is far more better than the street food you love.

With the thought in mind for the health version of a most tempting dish I tried my hands on Bhakhri Pizza. Yeah, it's healthy and tempting at the same time.

For the one's who don't know what is bhakhri? Let me brief it out. Bhakhri is a Indian flat bread made from wheat flour. It's almost thick like a think crust pizza base.

Now, without wasting much more time let's jump to over tempting recipe.

Ingredients:

For making Bhakhri

2 cup wheat flour
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp mixed herbs
Pinch of salt
Water as required

For topping

1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped capsicum
1 cup boiled corn 
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Chilli flakes
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup home made pizza sauce
1 cup cheese

Method:

For Bhakhri dough:

  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients of bhakhri and knead into a dough. Dough needs to be hard than the one we prepare for pizza dough.
  • Keep the dough aside for 1 hr.
  • Now, take a small portion of dough and roll it to a flat bread.
  • On a slow flame, roast this flat bread. You need to press bit using a cloth to make it really good.
  • Once ready keep it a side.

For toppings:

  • In a pan, take olive oil and add the onion, capsicum and corn to it.
  • Cook it for 5mins, now add salt, Italian seasoning, Chilli flakes to it. Turn off the flame and let it cool down.
  • Next take our bhakhri, spread home made pizza sauce or ready made pizza sauce over it. Top it with the veggies mixes. Lastly, spread grated cheese over it.
  • Bake it in the oven untill the cheese melts.
Our Healthy Bhakhri Pizza is ready to eat.
Serve it with ketchup.
Happy Cooking!!
