Jain Bhakri Pizza

Cultural Context

Jain Bhakri Pizza is a unique fusion dish that marries traditional Indian bhakri, a flatbread made from whole grains, with the concept of pizza. Originating from the Jain community, which adheres to strict vegetarian principles, this dish uses fresh vegetables and cheese, making it a wholesome option for those seeking flavorful yet meat-free meals. Today, Jain Bhakri Pizza is enjoyed by many, transcending cultural boundaries and offering a delightful twist on classic pizza.

1

Start by preparing the pizza base. In a bowl, add 2 cups of wheat flour and some salt.

2

Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the flour and mix well to form a stiff dough.

3

Knead the dough and cover it for 10-15 minutes to rest.

4

For the sauce, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and add the pureed tomatoes.

5

Season the sauce with salt to taste, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon of oregano.

6

Cook the sauce until the oil separates, covering it while cooking and checking occasionally.

7

After 15 minutes, take the rested dough and roll it out to make bhakri, ensuring it is thick and not too thin.

8

Use a lid or bowl to cut the bhakri into a round shape for the pizza base.

9

Heat a tava (griddle) and cook the bhakri on one side until it is crispy, pressing it down with a lid to ensure it cooks well.

10

Prepare the toppings by chopping bell peppers and tomatoes into large pieces.

11

Spread the prepared sauce on the bhakri base evenly.

12

Add the chopped vegetables on top of the sauce. Optionally, add paneer if desired.

13

Sprinkle chili flakes and oregano on top for flavor.

14

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and place the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes to bake.

15

Alternatively, if you don't have an oven, you can cook it on the tava as well.

16

After baking, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting.

17

Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
