Tawa pizza recipe without yeast video – Making a pizza without oven, on a tawa or pan is quick and simple. Though it can be made with yeast dough, tawa pizza turns out best when made with dough that has no yeast in it. The flavor of yeast dough baked in a oven is good rather than the one cooked on stove top preparations.
This no yeast tawa pizza recipe may be useful to those who do not have a oven or do not prefer to eat foods made with yeast either because they are sensitive to yeast or allergic or want to just avoid yeast to prevent health conditions.
Usually I make pizzas using this pizza recipe and this whole wheat vegetable pizza.
I get lot of requests from readers to share healthy recipes that I try for my kids. Though sharing every recipe I make for them is not possible, thought of sharing a few that I am sure will be loved by your kids’ too. This tawa pizza recipe is healthy if made using whole grain flour (atta) and cheese without any additives.
How to make pizza without oven
For this recipe I have made the pizza dough using yogurt and soda. No yeast pizza dough can also be made using egg and no yogurt or soda is used in such recipe. I will share it sometime soon. This recipe yields a pizza with good crust and soft inside without being hard.
Using this recipe you will be able to make 3 thin crust personal pan pizzas of 6 inches. You can also make one thick pizza of 9 inches or 2 – 9 inch thin crust pizzas. You can also make chicken pizza or egg on pizza recipes using this dough.
In this post, I am sharing
1. How to make no yeast pizza dough
2. Making tomato pizza sauce
3. How to make pizza on tawa
If you have a pizza sauce handy then just skip making that here. But be sure to use a good sauce since it is the main contributor to the taste of pizza. You can watch the video for clear instructions.

Making sauce for tawa pizza without yeast

7. Add onions.
8. Saute until they turn golden.
9. Add tomatoes, salt and sugar. You can also use tomato puree.
10. Cook covered until mushy.
11. Mash the sauce to make it uniform if using tomatoes. Add italian herbs or oregano and crushed pepper.
12. When the sauce turns thick add veggies and saute on a high flame just for 1 to 2 mins. Make sure the sauce doesn’t dry up. If you skip this step, you will have raw veggies on your pizza. This also gives nice aroma to the sauce and toppings. Set this aside to cool.

Hi,
Just tried your recipe today with some minor modifications and turned out really well. Used both flours in the ratios mentioned in the recipe and added 1 tsp baking powder to reduce the waiting period as I had noticed you mentioned this to one other commentor. And melted the cheese and veggies in the microwave and poured over the base once it was completely done. Was using an iron skillet so feared that the base would get burnt. Loved the way it turned out. Thank you so so much. Will definitely be making again 🙂

Aishwarya says
Hi Swasthi,
I want to try this recipe but have only Baking Powder available.
Will that work in place of Baking Soda?
Thanks in advance.
swasthi says
Hi Aishwarya
You can try with 1 tsp baking powder. You can skip the yogurt. Do not rest the dough. Once you are done kneading just begin to make thepizza
Dilnar says
Hi Swasthi
Can we make a batch of pizza base and store it in the freezer for further use. Will this recipe work for that too.
swasthi says
Hi Dilnar
Since there is soda used in the recipe, I guess it doesn’t work well.
Saba says
Hi Swasthi,
Can I make this with all purpose flour(maida) only?
swasthi says
Hi Saba
Yes you can make with maida
Saba says

Hey Swasthi,
I tried this recipe. My son’s eyes literally lit up on tasting it. That’s the best compliment I could have asked for, considering he was unwilling to accept the fact that I actually prepared pizza at home! I owe that one to you. Thank you.
