Flaky Pizza... a pizza with puff pastry crust

About 2 over months ago, we brought the kids out for dinner at Bakerzin because Matty was hammering for pizza and Elaina just wanted mushroom pasta.  We managed to convince Matty that the pizza at Bakerzin is rather different from the usual ones and that he will not regret giving it a try.  Sure enough, he chomped up the entire plate of pizzas but unexpectedly, he asked if I could make the same at home.

I took on the challenge and decided to give it a go with my trusted frozen prata dough (my preferred option over puff pastry dough just only because I don't need to roll it and it is in the right shape!). That following weekend, my cover version of Bakerzin flaky pizza was born.  Didn't blog about it or took any photos back then because I was still in my "no-mood-for-anything-and-feeling-frustrated-from-my-lack-of-voice-quality-after-thyroid-surgery" mode.

So 2 months later, I am glad that I made this again today.  Initially I was disappointed that the supermarket had ran out of my favourite plain frozen prata and had to settle for the onion flavoured prata dough of the same brand, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise because the crust had a very nice flavour to it in the end.

Now I am contemplating of using a proper puff pastry dough next time just to see the difference... but that will be a while more since I have been feeling very sick from eating all the rich food this holiday season.


Ingredients:

• 1 frozen prata dough
• Toppings for pizza as desired (mushroom, ham, parsley and shredded mozzarella cheese was what I used today)

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius, fan forced (somehow it puffs the dough better in my opinion)
• Lay prata dough on a cookie pan or pizza pan, dusted with some flour.  I usually lined it with a piece of foil and it works perfectly well.
• Place prata dough in oven.
• 5 mins later, the dough will start to balloon.  Use a fork to make a small tear on the top to let the air escape.  The dough will gradually deflate.
• Let dough bake for another 10 minutes.
• Remove crust from oven.  Keeping the crust on the same pan and top with desired toppings.
• Return pizza back into the oven.
• Bake for another 15 minutes or until cheese turns golden brown (if cheese added as toppings).
