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
6. Meanwhile make pizza sauce. You can skip making this and use ready pizza sauce. Heat oil in a pan and saute garlic. Add chilli flakes. If you do not have the flakes, pulse a few red chilies in the blender.
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.

Yes it should work.
Shobha says
Made tawa pizza whole wheat for dinner, tasted awesome with some toppings modifications.
swasthi says
Thanks Shobha
Glad it turned out awesome
Latha says
Can we not skip using baking powder and soda? Will it be ol if we increase the amount of curd?
swasthi says
Instead make a layered paratha and top it. I don’t know if only curd will work. I think the base will be dense and not cook without baking soda.
Latha says
Oh. That was very prompt. Thank you. I vl sure gv it a try. Your recipes with both video and photos are really a great idea.
Neema says
Hi.. can we make the pizza base before n store… like the store bought ones n then heat with toppings n cheese when needed..
If so for how long can we store the base.
swasthi says
Hi,
I haven’t tried
Prachi Chaturvedi says
Hey hi..
Was craving for pizza in this lockdown so true ur receipe today..though it turned out really well and my whole family loved it ..but it had a lil aftertaste of baking powder (I put half tsp baking powder instead of soda)which I didn’t like..is it with me only or the recipe has a after taste ?
swasthi says
Hello Prachi,
I haven’t felt it with baking soda. But actually it shouldn’t leave an aftertaste even if you use 3/4 tsp. 3/4 to 1 tsp is the quantity used in self raising flour. But I know some people are more sensitive to baking powder and soda even when used in right quantities & they feel either the bitter taste or aftertaste. I have a family member with the same problem. You may try Bob’s red mill brand. This has worked well for us.
Aditi Jain says
Turned out really well. Thanks Swasthi 😊

Elwin says
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 🙂
swasthi says
Hi Elwin
You are welcome. Thanks for the comment. Happy to know the recipe was useful.

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.
swasthi says

Can I prepare pizza dough 3-4 hours earlier? And one one more question, if can I use only wheat flour and not maida?
swasthi says
Hi Richa
Yes you can make it 3 to 4 hours earlier. Yes you can make it using only atta/ wheat flour. Make sure you make it thin and not very thick
