No Yeast Pizza On The Stovetop Magic Dough My Food Story

on May 14, 2020, Updated Jul 03, 2024 Hey there! I understand how it feels. When Pizza craving strikes and it takes over everything. I’m so excited about this recipe because this is the second in the series – another recipe that’s made from my Magic Dough. I spoke about this magic dough last week. And so many of you have already tried making no yeast naan from it with so much success. The dough is a six ingredient recipe that can be used in three amazing ways – for naan bread, pizza and bhaturas (Indian fried breads) that are usually served with Chana Masala. Making no yeast pizza is pretty similar to making No Yeast Naan on the stovetop.

Best Tips for Cooking No Yeast Pizza on the Stove

Roll out the dough the same way you would for pizza. Dust it lightly with flour and roll it as thin or thick as you like. I always roll it to approx 1/4 inch thickness because it puffs up slightly as it cooksPrick the base with a fork. This helps stop it from developing too many air pockets and puffing up like naanUse a heavy bottom skillet if possible like a cast iron pan. But this works just as well on a non stickDon’t pre-heat your skillet because if it’s too hot, the pizza base will burn and your toppings won’t cook and the cheese won’t meltCook the pizzas on a medium flame to avoid the base from burningTo melt the cheese properly, cover and cook for 4-5 minutes. The steam that gets created will cook the toppings and melt the cheeseThis really gives best results on the stove. But if you want to use your oven, you can start the pizza on the stove and after 2-3 minutes, move it to the oven. Just turn the top element on high so that it cooks the veggies and melts the cheese. The base only takes 2-3 minutes to cook

Cheese for the Pizzas

I love using Mozzarella for these pizzas. Because it melts fast, and has that stringiness thats so perfect. If you are using a processed cheese like Amul or Britannia, drizzle a little olive oil on the cheese to help it melt properly.
