Domino's pizza recipe - A soft and milky textured pizza loaded with flavoured veggies and oozing cheese. Also packed with intense "umami " the fifth flavour apart from sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness. Few days back I posted the 1st part of the domino's pizza recipe that is it's dough recipe. Today I am sharing the 2nd part of the recipe. In this recipe I have shared the tricks which professionals use and the alternatives which can be tried at home.

Ingredients

1 Domino's pizza base
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoon Marinara sauce
1/2 teaspoon Oregano seasoning
Red and green capsicum, chopped
Onion, Chopped
Cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoon Cheese (Blend of Low moisture mozzarella, Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese)
1 Tablespoon water

Dried Oregano - 1 tablespoon
Garlic powder - 1 tablespoon
Salt - 1 tablespoon
Dried Basil - ½ tablespoon
Black Pepper - ½ tablespoon
Dry Chilli Flakes - ½ tablespoon

Step by step on Domino's pizza recipe

Step 1. Saute the veggies

Place a non-stick pan over high heat and add chopped veggies (capsicum). Saute for 1 to 2 minutes to just evaporate water content. Make sure that you don't over cook as they will become soggy. Take out the veggies in plate.
Later, in the same pan add onions and saute them.

Step 2. Oregano seasoning

Put all the ingredients dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, Dried Basil,Black Pepper, Dry Chilli Flakes in a mortar pestle and crush them to a fine powder. Seasoning is ready to use. You can store it for 2 months in an airtight jar.

Step 3. Now let's shape the dominos pizza dough

Before starting to make pizza, pre-heat oven at 240 degree Celsius with a rack set very close to top roof.
Flour your working top lightly. I have used corn meal. Take 1 part of dough and shape it into flawless round ball. Press the dough into flat disc. Now using your finger give it a round shape.
Then smear olive oil on the surface of dough.

Step 4 . Coat a thick layer of marinara sauce.

Step 4. Bake pizza dough for 1 minute.

Here comes the baker's secret - When pizza are baked at high temperatures heat cause dryness which results in chew and dry pizza crust. Commercially pizza are baked in large and highly expensive oven which comes with steam injection. That's why domino's pizza are soft and moist in texture. So what can we do to avoid that dryness while baking at home in ovens which do not have steam injection? We can generate steam by spraying water during early few minutes of baking pizza crust.

Get ready your water spray. Open the oven door, spray water on wall of oven (be careful and avoid the light bulb!) and place your pizza dough. Spray it once more and quickly close the door to trap the steam inside. Be careful don't over do the spraying because it can reduce the temperature.

Step 5. Once dough is baked for 1 minute, take the dough out of oven and arrange the sautéed toppings on crust. Sprinkle oregano seasoning.

Step 6. Sprinkle the blend of mozzarella, parmesan and cheddar cheese. If other cheeses are not available, only mozzarella should be fine.

Bake pizza on 240 degree Celsius for exact 8 minutes (The baking time may vary based on different makes of ovens). Take it out and let it cool for 2 minutes and serve.
