tawa pizza recipe | veg pizza on tawa without yeast | pizza without oven in a step by step photo and video recipe. pizza recipe is a common and popular snack or meal recipe across the globe. in india it does have a huge audience base and usually craves for this dish as a snack or perhaps as a light meal. in addition, most of the indian kitchens may lack the traditional oven and this recipe fills a gap as the pizza is made with a pan on a cooktop.

well, to be honest, i am not a huge fan of pizza recipes or as a matter of fact, i generally do not like most of the recipes with cheese. it is my personal preference as i end up bloated even after having 2 small slices of pizza. but i do not mind having it occasionally and i usually bake it in my baking oven. having said that i was getting a lot of requests to make veg pizza without an oven and without yeast. hence i am re-posting my old recipe with new measurements and skipped the yeast part. i hope you would love it and share your feedback. in addition, if you have access to the ready-made pizza base then you can completely skip the dough step and jump directly to the pan baking and topping step. further, if you do not have access to pizza sauce, you can also use tomato sauce and add mixed herbs, pepper and chilli flakes as a hack to the pizza sauce alternative.

while the recipe is easy and straightforward, i would like to add some tips and suggestions for a novice baker. firstly, the same recipe and measurements can be used to bake the pizza in a traditional oven. the pan baking is for those who do not have access to the oven or convection microwave. secondly, the toppings for the recipe is completely open-ended and can be experimented as per your preference. i would recommend sticking to those veggies which cook faster and avoid veggies with high boiling temperature. lastly, cook the pizza on a very low flame and do not rush with high or medium flame.
