Call it a  tray pizza or sheet pan pizza/ Party Pan Pizza  I enjoyed every bite of this cheesy  yummy,toppings overloaded pizza..I loved baking this in the baking tray as I didn't had to make small and medium sized personal pizzas ,just one tray and there you go super yummy pizza in a go..
The base i used here is a whole wheat base and believe me it was super soft and yummy..I love using a lot of toppings and i always use whatever is in the fridge ..I had some Spicy Chicken Salami and some spicy marinated chicken chunks so just added them with mushrooms and olives ..To make this vegetarian you can paneer tikka  and other veg toppings..

Ingredients
for toppings
spicy chicken salami cut in small cubes
1 capsicum cut thinly
1 onion sliced finely
7-8 olives chopped
9-10 mushrooms boiled and chopped
spicy fried chicken chunks
oregano
chilli flakes
olive oil to drizzle
Parmesan and mozzarella cheese

I used my Basic Pizza Dough Recipe  for the pizza dough and replaced Wholewheat flour for Maida/APF

Method

• Make the dough and place  it on a baking tray,Bake it for 10 mins,let it cool
• Now Spread the Pizza Sauce  and add grated Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese

1 1/2 cup rice
3-4 spring onions chopped both green and bulb
8-10 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp red chili flakes
1/2 capsicum cut in small cubes
1/2 tbsp black pepper crushed
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp chilli sauce
salt
2 tbsp oil

Method

• Soak the cleaned rice for 15 min then boil it in sufficient water with salt ,cook till done strain the water and spread the rice on a plate and let it cool completely.
• Marinate the cleaned prawns with salt lime and pepper and set aside.

A day old rice will work perfect ,you can use your leftover rice to make fried rice/ let the rice cool completely before cooking,the rice needs to be cold or it will break while tossing.

 A very Happy New year to all my friends and readers ..I know its 20 days since the new year has started

and I'm late to wish you all..I have been away from blogging since more than a month  the longest break since i started blogging..I had planned to post many recipes for Christmas  and thereafter but just couldn't make it..Was tied up with so many family functions  but I'm happy to start blogging again ..Hopefully i will be regular in posting now..There are so many post in my drafts will try and publish them asap..

Well today I have a moist fluffy and perfect cupcake ..these vanilla cupcakes are the best one I baked so far...I normally prefer chocolate cupcakes but my folks get fed up with my obsession to chocolate cakes so  thought of making vanilla cupcakes..now the recipe is pretty simple I used my fav vanilla cake recipe just added buttermilk instead of milk and ...what I got was absolutely soft fluffy and delicious Vanilla cupcakes..they were just perfect to eat by themselves but since I wanted to frost them i chose to   use my fav Ganache frosting...I would highly recommend  these cupcakes if you looking out for perfect fluffy and moist vanilla cupcakes

These can be made without using eggs ...I had made a small batch of cupcake as trail since there was only egg left in the fridge if you wish to make more you could simply double the recipe...This recipe gave me 7 cupcakes..

now over to the recipe...

Ingredients
1 egg* (check Notes)
3/4 cup flour  +1 tbsp cornflour
50 gms butter softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter milk (1/4 cup  milk 1 tsp vinegar/Lime juice)
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp cream/malai
1/2 tsp salt

Method

• Sift the flour/maida ,baking powder and cornflour together.
• Make buttermilk by adding lime or vinegar to the milk,let it sit for few minutes,your buttermilk is ready.
• Line the muffins tray with  cupcakes liner .
• In a bowl mix butter  and powdered sugar, beat till creamy.
• Add egg and beat till creamy and fluffy the more you beat the fluffier your cupcakes will be.
• Add vanilla and buttermilk,cream/malai  and beat till all mixes up,the mixture will look curdled,don't worry.
• Add the sifted flour and beat on low speed till all is combined well
• Pour the batter in the lined cupcake mould and bake for 25 mins at 180 degree/Celsius till tooth pick inserted comes out clean
• Place it on the cooling rack and let them cool completely before frosting

I have frosted it with chocolate ganache ..ill share it in the next post...these were so moist and delish that i could eat it without frosting

Notes
These can be made eggless by simply skipping the egg and adding 1/4 cup of milk that means you will need to add 1/2 cup of milk and 1tbsp vinegar instead of egg.
if you do not have fresh cream use malai/milk cream or simply add a tbsp of milk.
I have not added salt since i used salted butter, add salt if you use unsalted butter.
