Quick and Easy Slice Bread Slice Margherita Pizza is probably one of the easiest recipes you can make for breakfast, a light and quick dinner or as a evening snack. Made these bread pizzas for the physically challenged children who I, spend time with pretty often. They were so thrilled to make these. In batches of 4 each , each batch was given do one task. One batch applies the butter, the other sauce, the next will grate the cheese on it and then last batch of children will garnish arrange the olives.

When these were ready and each one was served in a paper plate along with a glass of juice, they were so thrilled to eat what they had made. Seeing the smiling and joyful faces, taking a second and third helping, gives me immense satisfaction, joy, to be and spend time with them.
Here the recipe is of a small quantity, but for 30 children I, made in large quantity.. used three medium packs of brown bread, 650 grams of pizza sauce and nearly a kg of mozzarella / pizza cheese and pics are of all the remaining that I could take. I am sure these mini bread pizzas, will be loved by you, especially the kids.

No-Knead Thin Crust Margherita Pizza#BreadBakers

Margherita pizza is a simple, delicious pizza that’s easy to make at home. 

For 2 pizzas

Ingredients

226 grams All Purpose Flour  

1 Teaspoon Instant Yeast

1 Teaspoon Sugar 

1 Teaspoon Salt 

158 Grams Water 

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

 

Method

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the water. Stir with a spoon, then knead with your hand just until the flour is moistened and the dough begins to form. Do not over-mix! The dough will be very sticky and rough looking, not silky smooth. With damp hands, roll each piece into a rough ball and place into a container with2 tablespoons of oil. Flatten the top with an oiled hand. Cover tightly. Let rise at room temperature for 45 minutes, then deflate the dough and refrigerate overnight or up to 5 days. The dough should be roughly doubled in size before shaping.

For 2 Pizzas
For The Quick Pizza Sauce  

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Olive oil 
1 Medium Onion - finely diced 

A pinch of Red Chili flakes 

½ Teaspoon Freshly Made Garlic paste 

250 Grams Tomato Puree 

2 Tablespoon Dry White wine 
1 Teaspoon Sugar 
Salt to taste

Method

Heat a small saucepan over medium flame. Add olive oil, onions, chili flakes, and a generous pinch of salt. Cook stirring occasionally until onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook until starting to brown. Add the tomato puree and wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until very thick. Taste and adjust for salt. Cool completely. The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Assembling The Pizza

Preheat the oven with the cast iron tawa or a pizza stone at 220°C for an hour.
Divide the dough into two parts.
Take two parchment sheet and oil it with the oil from the container. Take one part of the dough and flatten it equally on all sides to thin crust pizza.

Apply a very thin layer of pizza sauce, sprinkle shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle Homemade Pizza Seasonings on top. Slide a rimless baking sheet or a peel under the parchment paper and slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the stone ( I used my cast iron tawa) in the oven. Bake until the crust is nicely browned around the edges and underneath, about 10 to 12 minutes. 

Slide the pizza and parchment back onto the rimless baking sheet to get the pizza out of the oven. 

Move to a cutting board to slice and peel off the parchment paper.  Serve immediately.

Pat them dry and  fry on high flame with just a tablespoon of oil,  the cut side down till they are nicely browned on both sides ( do not  cook them, just want to seal the juices in the chicken, so while baking they do dry out). Then keep aside.

Heat remaining oil in a pan . Add onion and garlic cook for 2 minutes . Add pasta sauce and red chilly garlic sauce bring to the boil stir in basil. Season with salt and pepper . 

Place the chicken in a ovenproof dish, fill each chicken piece with the prepared sauce by pressing the filling into the cuts.

 Top it with cheese .  Place a small leaf of basil.   

Place them on a buttered pyrex dish pour a teaspoon of water in the dish ( this is to prevent the chicken from drying).
