Kuttu Atta Pizza Dough

Recipe: The Ultimate Twist for Your Sawan Vrat Recipes

Pizza dough recipe searches around Sawan usually stem from one thing: missing pizza while keeping your vrat, so you need to try this kuttu (buckwheat) pizza dough with its indulgent toppings of burrata, peppers, and spinach. This pizza recipe features what a vrat kitchen typically has: buckwheat flour, salt, olive oil, and water, with no onion or garlic. But to be doubly sure, cross-check the ingredients against what is permitted to be on the safe side. This buckwheat pizza dough recipe is gluten-free, so it's a little different from a regular yeast-rich pizza base. Olive oil is worked into the flour, like a moyan, to give the dough a slightly crumbly, short texture, and the warm water, added gradually, makes a dough that comes together easily. Over-kneading should be avoided as gluten is absent here. Rest the dough and then roll it out before adding the toppings for the best results. The topping is what makes this pizza earn its place among more adventurous Sawan vrat recipes. The tomato sauce that goes as the first layer on a pizza dough recipe is replaced with sun-dried tomato pesto; a burrata is torn and arranged over it, along with multi coloured peppers and baby spinach, which roast in the oven’s heat and don’t disintegrate, making it a delight to bite into during this fasting season.
