Being categorized as junk food, a Pizza usually is considered wicked when it comes to health concerns. So, we can consciously choose to prepare our pizzas at home with selected, best quality ingredients and make it better than the usual. This is one such sumptuous homemade Paneer Pizza recipe that’s just all good things put together. It has toppings of Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and mixed veggies on a pizza dough made from scratch at home. I also use my best homemade Pizza Sauce for this Paneer Cheese Pizza.
This recipe of Paneer Pizza is very different than my recipe of Paneer Tikka Pizza. Here I lightly marinate the paneer cubes with yogurt and a few spices and it is not the typical spice loaded tikka marinade that is made to make the authentic Paneer Tikka. So the taste and flavor of this Paneer Pizza is different than the tikka version.
How I go about it is by marinating the paneer cubes and vegetables in some curd (yogurt) which is spiked with a few Indian spice powders. The holy trinity of spices that I use to spice is red chilli powder, cumin powder and garam masala powder. Simple as well, isn’t it?

The pizza has the main topping of Indian cottage cheese a.k.a paneer and has both Indian and Italian flavors. Somehow my family and I like the Indo-Italian fusion food game. No doubt, this peppy Paneer Pizza is a favorite at home.
You can always experiment with vegetables that your family prefers. Since my folks are good with onion and capsicum, these win hands down not just in this Paneer Cheese Pizza recipe, but others too. In addition to the capsicum, any colored bell pepper is also a good addition.
Vegans don’t worry as this Paneer Pizza can be veganized by just using tofu instead of paneer and a vegan mozzarella cheese. Rest everything else is any way suited for vegans. However, I can’t really comment anything on the yeast used in the making of the pizza base, being suitable for vegan consumption or not.

For the base crust in this Paneer Pizza recipe, I use my Whole Wheat Pizza Dough recipe. This particular post can be your go-to guide for making a 100% fool proof pizza dough with whole wheat flour. For this Paneer Pizza, you can choose any other flour dough for the base.
The whole wheat pizza dough recipe is quite easy and simple. The step-by-step pictures will also give a good idea on how to proceed with it. The recipe results in a soft textured pizza base, one which is crisp from the outside after getting baked. There is no denseness, chewiness or hardness in the pizza bread.
You can knead the dough using a stand mixer, if you have one or else with your hands. Just make sure that the dough is well kneaded till it becomes smooth, soft and supple.

5. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice. If you do not have lemon juice, then add 1 tablespoon buttermilk or fresh curd (yogurt).
7. Knead to a smooth and soft dough. Add more lukewarm water if required while kneading. Knead for at least 8 to 10 minutes.
9. Place a cotton kitchen towel covering the dough or pan. Allow to leaven for 45 minutes to 2 hours or till the dough increases in volume and doubles up. Timing will vary with the temperature conditions in your city.

11. Prepare the toppings while the dough is leavening. Take 1 cup onion cubes, 1 cup bell pepper cubes (capsicum) and ½ cup roughly chopped spinach (about 12 to 15 small to medium size spinach leaves) in a mixing bowl.
12. Add 2 tablespoons fresh curd or yogurt. This step is optional and you can skip it. You can also use sour cream instead of fresh curd.
Cover and keep aside to marinate for 20 to 30 minutes or more. If keeping for more than 30 minutes, then refrigerate.

19.Roll to a medium thick base having a thickness of about ¼ to ⅓ inches. You can even make thin crust pizzas.

22. Break fresh mozzarella cheese into pieces and place on the sauce. Add mozzarella cheese depending on the size of the pizza.
Do not add too much or overcrowd the pizza with cheese. You can also grate the mozzarella cheese. Use pizza cheese if you don’t have mozzarella cheese.
25. Bake Paneer Pizza for 15 to 20 minutes or till the cheese melts and the pizza crust is crisp and golden.
Paneer Tikka Masala Pizza
26. Remove the pizza on a plate, tray or board. Sprinkle some red chili flakes and oregano on the pizza. You can also top the pizza with some torn fresh basil leaves.
Olive oil is what makes a pizza different than any other breads. It has a distinct aroma which is what has been used for traditional pizzas since ages. In case its not there at home and you want to make this pizza immediately, use any vegetable oil.

Cottage Cheese Pizza Recipe; Aka Paneer Pizza
This pizza is inspired by the Pizza Hut and Dominos (Indian pizza chains) paneer pizza versions. I live in Switzerland, and here there is no dearth of good quality pizzas made by local Italian and Turkish restaurants. However, I miss these Indian pizza chains which have so much variety in toppings – from Paneer Tikka to Chicken Tikka Masala and so much more!
I like to make my own pizza base and I always proof the dough in my Instant Pot. This is how I like to speed up the dough proving process to make Pav for Pav Bhaji, or to make my Naan bread.
This Indian-inspired veggie pizza is super customizable and you can add any combination of toppings that you like. I will be sharing my tried and tested paneer tikka topping – with suggestions for how you can modify this recipe.
Paneer Pizza (from Scratch)
Yeast – Use either instant yeast or active dry yeast. If using active dry yeast, make sure you activate the yeast in ½ a cup of warm milk and sugar.
If you are using active dry yeast, activate the yeast in ½ a cup of warm milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let the yeast sit still for 5-8 minutes until it looks bubbly and activated. If you are using instant yeast, skip this step.
Measure out 17 ounces of bread flour (or all-purpose flour) in the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a regular mixing bowl). Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt to season, and the yeast.
No Yeast Paneer Pizza
In the stand mixer, add 1 cup of warm water a little at a time and mix the dough for 7-10 minutes, until the dough is together. The dough should form a ball and clean the sides of the bowl. If kneading with hand, knead on a floured kitchen counter until the dough forms a ball.
I use my Instant Pot to proof the dough. The 'Yogurt' setting of the Instant Pot creates the perfect proofing environment for the dough to proof well and double in size.
Brush the inside of the Instant Pot with olive oil. Place the dough ball inside. Set the Instant Pot to 'Yogurt ' setting for 1 hour. Cover with a glass lid. After 1 hour, the dough will have doubled in size.
Instant Veg Pizza
Remember, you don't HAVE to use an Instant Pot!, you can use simply your oven to proof the dough. Simply keep the dough ball in a large bowl lightly covered with a kitchen cloth, and place the bowl in the oven, with its light on.
You can also keep the bowl covered this way in any warm place
