Pizza paratha (roti pizza)

By swasthi , on January 21, 2021, 11 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Pizza paratha also known as roti pizza is made with Indian whole wheat flatbreads – roti, pizza sauce, cheese and herbs. I have made pizza paratha a few times before and one of the methods shared here has been liked by my kids a lot. There are a few different ways to make roti pizza. The easiest to make is just to smear some sauce over the cooked rotis and add cheese. Pop them in the oven until the cheese melts.

But those are way too thin to hold the cheese and the topping so I make them the way I have shown in this post. So how is this different? This is a Paratha recipe with stuffed pizza sauce & veggies, topped with cheese. This is on the heavier side and ideal to serve for a meal.

Just like the way a pizza is served hot, this paratha too is best served hot. You can also accompany this with some light soup. I mostly make Sweet corn soup or vegetable pasta soup to go with these pizza parathas.

You don’t need any chutney or pickle with this paratha if you use a really good pizza sauce. I use this homemade pizza sauce which is very flavorful and lightly spicy.

The taste and flavor of this pizza paratha comes out very very good only by using a good pizza sauce. You can also make the sauce ahead and refrigerate it for about 2 to 3 weeks. However you can also use store bought sauce for convenience.

I have toasted the pizza paratha on the tawa but you can also put it in a preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes towards the end to brown the cheese slightly. I have used mozzarella cheese, you can also use four cheese or pizza cheese, grated, cubed or slices as desired.

How to make pizza paratha

1. Add wheat flour and salt to a mixing bowl. Pour water little by little and begin to make a dough.

Add wheat flour

2. Pour ½ tbsp oil and knead until the dough becomes soft and pliable. You can also skip the oil. Cover this & keep aside the veggies and pizza sauce is ready. To make the sauce at home refer the link mentioned in the intro of this post.

3. Divide the dough to 6 equal parts. Sprinkle some flour on the rolling area. Flatten a ball and dust some flour on both the sides.

Method 1 – Roti pizza

4. Roll it to a round or square shaped roti. Do not make too thick or too thin. Make 2 rotis of the same size and set aside.

5. Spread 1 tbsp pizza sauce on one of the roti. Do not apply to the edges. Layer onion, capsicums and olives.

9. Flip the paratha and sprinkle grated cheese on the hot paratha. Make sure to put the cheese on the hot side of the paratha. Sprinkle red chilli flakes and Italian herbs. Leave the paratha on a low flame till the cheese melts. Make sure the bottom doesn’t get burnt. At this stage you can skip cooking on the tawa. Just put the paratha on a wire rack in the preheated oven or microwave until the cheese melts.

Slice the pizza paratha and serve hot.

1. Roll the paratha slightly thick, slightly thicker than roti. Spread sauce only on one half of the paratha, then sprinkle capsicum and onions over it.

      Hello
      Your recipes are really good 👍🏻
      I have a 5 year old son, who is not gaining weight properly since 3years and I am trying my best to give him healthy food that would make him healthy and strong but couldn’t succeed . Problem is he doesn’t chew properly, which results in frequent stomach infection and he wants tasty food and more of non veg . can you please send me a nutritious diet plan?

        Hi Deepali,
        Thank you so much! The only way is to give him lighter & soupy foods. Avoid giving roti or paratha. You need to remind for every bite that he has to chew. I do not have a diet plan for 5 years old. You will have to include 3 meals, 2 snacks and 2 large fruit servings in a day. You can also reduce milk and check if that is causing the problem. Sorry I couldn’t help you much!
