How to Cook Pizza on Stovetop
Step 1: Preparation of Pizza Dough
In a bowl, add all purpose flour (Maida), salt, oil, baking soda, baking powder, milk, and yogurt. Mix all the ingredients together. Gradually add water to make a soft dough. Cover and rest the dough for 45 minutes to get set.
Step 2: Prepare Pizza Topping
In a bowl, add yogurt, salt, chicken tikka masala, and red chili powder and mix well. Add boiled chicken breast pieces and marinate for few minutes. In a pan, add oil and saute grated garlic. As the garlic started changes color, add marinated chicken and saute on high heat. Once the chicken started getting dry, add onion pieces.
Step 3: Toast The Pizza Crust
Now Roll the dough in a form of flat bread (roti) and place it on preheat skillet (Tawa). Slightly toast the dough on low heat. As the dough shows marks from both sides then take it out to add toppings.
Step 4: Add Topping
First, brush pizza sauce. (I am using ready-made pizza sauce). Then place chicken pieces on different places of pizza. In the same way, place onion pieces. Place a good amount of grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle oregano. Also, add some green chili slices (optional).
Step 5: Stovetop Pizza Cooking
Now carefully place the pizza in preheated skillet/tawa on medium heat. Cover for 5 minutes to make it steamy with melted cheese.

Stovetop Pizza Tips
- Avoid to make thick crust of pizza to cook on stovetop.
- Baking powder and baking sode will help to puff the dough in the same way as we make homemade naan on skillet/tawa.
- Slightly toast the crust from both sides before adding pizza toppings. Topping side should be more toasted as compared to base of pizza as it will cover with topping so will not get toast.

Store & Reheat
Refrigerate the leftover pizza in airtight glass container for 2 days. Use microwave to reheat or simply use skillet. To reheat on skillet, preheat the skillet/tawa first then add a splash of water on skillet base and place the pizza. Cover for 5 minutes on low heat. After 5 minutes, serve!
