~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.45 minsintermediate
Try This Easy Khapli Wheat Margherita Flatbread Recipe Made In A Jiffy
Love Margherita pizzas but worried about nutrients? Then meet this khapli wheat margherita flatbread recipe, which takes the classic flavours of Margherita pizza and lays it over a thin-crust flatbread. The dough for this particular pizza recipe uses Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta, which has a good amount of fibre, protein, iron and vitamin B1 that supports energy metabolism. Since it is a thin-crust and flatbread, rolling the khapli dough thin is the part that needs the most attention. Khapli atta’s lower gluten content means the dough doesn't stretch as enthusiastically, like elastic, as you will see when it comes to a regular maida-based crust. Rolling it out in stages, rather than trying to thin it in one go, keeps the base from tearing while still getting it to bake properly in the oven. Khapli wheat's bran plus sugar also means it browns faster under heat than regular wheat flour. So keep an eye on the oven from around the six-minute mark. This pizza recipe takes just 10 minutes to bake and another 15 for the preparation, from kneading the dough for the khapli atta flatbread, chopping the tomatoes and shredding the cheese. You get the same mix of mouthwatering stretchy mozzarella cheese, olive oil, garlic salt, cherry tomatoes, and fresh leaves, finishing off wth a balsamic drizzle for impeccable flavours, perfect for a light meal or a shared appetiser.25 minsintermediate
How To Make Khapli Wheat Cherry Scones Recipe, Perfect With Chai Or Coffee
Scones are Scottish, made from flour, chilled butter, and milk or cream, and are quite easy to make, plus don’t take much time to make. There are some variations of scones, with Irish, British, and American scones differing in texture, density, and shape. This cherry scone recipe follows the American style, swapping maida for the nutrient-dense Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta. This scone is buttery and citrusy, with cherry bits, and has an irresistible nutty flavour courtesy of the khapli atta. The cherries used in these khapli wheat scones are fresh, folded with a touch of lemon and orange zest and some almond extract. There’s also a cream wash, along with sugar on top of the scones, which gives them their finish before they go into the oven. You need firm cherries for this scone recipe, not soft, overripe cherries, which usually release too much juice into the dough and can hamper the texture. To prevent them from sinking, the cherries are tossed in flour, then added to the dough. As for baking with khapli atta instead of maida, the dough does behave a bit differently, since emmer wheat naturally carries a different gluten structure than modern bread wheat. Khapli wheat also typically carries a naturally higher protein and dietary fibre content, alongside a weaker gluten that is gentler on the stomach and some people find easier to digest. So, when baking with khapli, the dough needs to be handled with care and not overworked to avoid dense scones.70 minsintermediate
FollowDirections
Description - Step 1
Prepare Mochi Base
Whisk glutinous rice flour, milk, and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl until the mixture turns smooth and lump-free. The consistency should resemble a pourable batter. Cover the bowl loosely and microwave the mixture for one minute. Give it a thorough stir to release trapped heat before the next stage.
Description - Step 2
Cook the Mochi
Continue microwaving the mixture in 30-second bursts, stirring after each round. The goal is to reach a glossy, sticky, slightly translucent mass. Once it thickens evenly, fold in the butter while the mix is still hot so it melts into the dough. Spread the mochi onto a cornstarch-dusted tray and let it cool.
Description - Step 3
Shape Mochi Balls
Dust your palms with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Pinch small portions from the cooled slab and roll them into 12 neat balls. Each ball should be around 1–1.5 teaspoons, so they sit comfortably inside the brownie batter without sinking or making the cups overflow.
Description - Step 4
Melt Butter & Chocolate
Set up a double boiler or melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave using short 20–30 second intervals. Stir between each round to avoid scorching. When the mixture becomes glossy and smooth, whisk in the granulated sugar while it is still warm so the sugar dissolves better.
Description - Step 5
Build the Brownie Batter
Add the eggs to the warm chocolate mixture one at a time, whisking until the batter becomes shiny and cohesive. Stir in vanilla extract. Sift the flour, cocoa, and salt directly over the bowl for even distribution, then fold gently without overmixing to maintain the brownie’s soft texture.
Description - Step 6
Start Filling the Muffin Tray
Grease a 12-cup mini muffin tray. Drop about one teaspoon of brownie batter into each cavity, enough to create a base layer that prevents the mochi from touching the bottom. This step ensures even baking and a centred chewy core.
Description - Step 7
Add Mochi Centres
Place one mochi ball directly in the middle of each brownie base. Positioning the ball in the centre helps the brownie rise evenly around it. Avoid pressing it down too far; the weight of the top batter layer will settle it naturally.
Description - Step 8
Cover & Fill
Spoon more brownie batter over each mochi ball until the cups reach about three-quarters full. This level lets the brownies puff gently without spilling over. Ensure each mochi ball is completely covered so it stays soft and protected during baking.
Description - Step 9
Bake the Bites
Place the tray in a preheated 175°C (350°F) oven and bake until the tops look set with light cracks. Remove the tray and let the brownie bites rest for ten minutes; this helps the mochi settle and keeps the shells intact. Run a butter knife around the edges and lift each bite gently.
Description - Step 10
Serve Warm
Enjoy the bites while warm for the softest mochi texture. If serving later, reheat each piece for 5–8 seconds in the microwave to revive the chewiness.
