Recipe- Easy To Make Tawa Pizza

Stove top pizza using skillet, or you can also make this recipe on tawa. If do not own a oven, you can still make pizza on stove on a tawa/ pan/ skillet.

Can use this skillet and bake in oven too, but many of my readers keep asking me how to make pizza on tawa over stovetop. I have not tried making on a stove, but saw this post and it was pretty simple to try. So today thought of making pizza on stove. I have used the same basic pizza dough I always use, so I have copy pasted the ingredients and initial steps.

Ingredients

All purpose flour/ Maida – 1 & 1/2 cup
Instant Yeast * – 1 tsp
Milk – 1/4 cup
Water – 1/4 cup (approx.)
Oil or melt butter – 1/8 cup
Salt – 3/4 tsp
Sugar – 2 tsp
Pizza cheese/ Mozzarella, grated – 3/4 cup
Onion, tomato, capsicum – As needed, chopped
Red ripe chilli (Bird’s eye chilli) – 1
Pizza/ pasta sauce – 4 tbsp
Butter or oil – 1 tsp

Method

* In a bowl, mix flour, salt and yeast. Mix milk and water and heat it just luke warm.
* Dissolve sugar in it. Now add this milk and oil/ butter to the flour and mix.

* Make a smooth dough. Knead for 5 minutes. Keep aside covered with a cling wrap.
* Preferably in a warm place. I keep inside the oven with oven light ON. After an hour or 1 & 1/2 hour, the dough would have doubled and risen.

* Punch it down and divide into two. Dust well and roll each ball into thick discs.

* Heat a heavy bottomed pan, add butter/ oil and fry the toppings. I skipped sauteeing tomato. Collect the toppings. Carefully place the rolled pizza base in the pan. The heat should be low. Flip after a minute.

* Prick in few places, spread pizza/ pasta sauce, leaving the sides. Spread the toppings and sprinkle cheese over it.

* Cook covered in medium flame or low flame, until the crust is stiff and cheese is melted.

* Cut and serve immediately with chilli flakes.
