 After the Dough has risen, punch down the dough.
And knead a bit before rolling it out. (Sorry guys... Couldn't take pictures of this step!)

Now take half of the dough for your first Pizza...
Dust your work surface first with flour, so that the dough doesn't gets sticky.
Now roll the dough out with your rolling pin.
Make the dough 2 cm thick.

 First grease your pizza pan with oil.
Now for placing the base in your pan... (Below is a video tutorial too!)
Dust the top of the base with flour.
Fold the round in half, now fold again.
Lift it up with your hands... and place it in one corner or side of your pizza pan!
Open up the folds... and stretch the dough to the sides of the pan.

Step 7: Assembling the Pizza.

 Lets start assembling the Pizza:

a. Place your Pizza base in the Pizza Pan (10" round).

b. Brush the sides of  the base with oil, that gives the crust a nice golden color when baked.

c. Spread half of the Pizza Sauce on the base.

d. Now spread half the cheese you grated, on the base. Spreading it evenly.

e.Chicken Tikka: Arrange the vegetables (Onion, tomatoes, capsicum, cabbage) & the chicken. Then sprinkle some oregano on top.
    Mustard Chicken:  Arrange the prepared Mustard Chicken, Cabbage, Onion, Tomatoes & Pineapple chunks on top. 

 Step 8: Baking the Pizza.

 Now place the Pan in your Oven...
Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 - 25 minutes!
