EASY HOME MADE PIZZA WITHOUT OVEN

Pizza is an Italian dish, but it has become famous all over the world. It consists of a thin layer of bread dough topped with a sauce usually tomato-based, cheese, and other toppings such as olives, oregano, vegetables, and meat, etc. Toppings can be changed according to our taste.

COOKING PIZZA USING TAWA. 

1. Take one portion of dough, dust a little flour, and roll gently into a slightly thin circle.

2. Meanwhile, heat the tawa (non-stick or cast iron). Sprinkle some oil and carefully place the dough. Prick the base with the help of a fork to prevent the pizza fluffing up like chappathi. Cook over low heat until small bubbles form.

3. Flip the other side and cook for a minute. 

4. Then spread the pizza sauce evenly over the base, but leave the edges. Add some shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. 

5. Then add sauteed onion, capsicum, fried chicken pieces, again add cheese on top as much as needed, sprinkle 2 pinches of oregano also. 

6. Now cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes on low heat or till the cheese melts completely. 

Finally, tawa pizza is ready. Slice and serve hot.

We can bake the pizza on our stovetop also. 

BAKING ON STOVETOP

1. Heat up a large non-stick or stainless steel vessel for 10 minutes with the lid on it. Place a stand or a steel plate

2. On a floured surface, roll out the dough gently into a thin circle. 

3. Transfer the rolled pizza base on a baking tray, then prick the base with a fork. 

4. Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the pizza base but leave the edges. Add some shredded mozzarella cheeses over the sauce, then add sauteed onion, capsicum, fried chicken. 

5. Again add the cheese on top as much as needed. Sprinkle 2 pinch of oregano. 

6. Now place the tray in the vessel, close tightly with a lid, and let it go on medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes. 

7. The easy homemade pizza is ready. Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy pizza. 

Notes:

1. You can freeze the dough to use it later. After the pizza dough has risen, divide into equal portions, coat all sides of dough with oil. Place the dough into plastic bags, and remove the air, seal it properly.you can freeze for 3 months. When you are ready to cook the pizza, take the dough from the freezer, place it in the refrigerator and allow it to defrost for 5 to 6 hours. Take it out from the refrigerator then let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before making the pizza base.
