How to make Pizza at home without an oven-stove top pizza recipe

 

Hello my friends! Hope you are doing well. As bakers at home, we need really easy recipes to make our own dishes because most of us do not have all the fancy equipment required for big recipes. But not having the correct equipment doesn't mean that you should stop cooking and start ordering everything from fast food restaurants! It just means you have to improvise. So if you do not have an oven at home, should you order a pizza? My answer is NO! You will be able to make your own pizza whenever you want it! This is where I will be helping you. I will tell you how to make pizza at home and you will be surprised to hear that it is done without an oven. What is better than homemade Pizza while making chicken barbecue here at home in the back yard!

These are called as Stove top Pizza which would use only your regular stove for preparing. It will be really crispy, nice looking with delicious taste just like the pizza from a restaurant. So let's bring the restaurant to our kitchen! The best thing is that you can make this pizza using regular dough bought from a store or dough you make at home.

Ingredients for dough

Flour - 300g
Yeast - 1 teaspoon
Sugar
Mild Warm water
Olive oil

Ingredients for sauce

Tomatoes - 500g
Olive oil - 1.5 tablespoons
Garlic cloves - 2
Red Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 0.25 teaspoon
Sugar - 1 teaspoon
Italian herbs - 1 teaspoon
crushed pepper - 1 teaspoon

Ingredients for topping

Onions
Bell pepper
Mushroom
Olives
Grated cheese

How to make the dough

First, you would have to add 1 teaspoon of yeast to a bowl of mildly warm water. Make sure that water is not too hot because the yeast will die. Then you have to add 1 teaspoon of sugar into the bowl. Then stir it well and keep for the yeast to become activated for 10 minutes.

Then add 300g of flour (roughly 2.5 cups) into the yeast bowl and 1/3 teaspoon of salt. After that you can add 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil and mix it very well. The final dough should be non-sticky but soft. You may use some extra flour to reduce stickiness. Keep kneading the dough for about 5 minutes.

Then add some oil to the bowl and spread it all over the inside. Add some oil onto the top of the dough as well. Finally, you have to keep it covered at room temperature for it to rise. Double the original size is the best rise.

How to make your Sauce for the Pizza

Put 500g of tomatoes in a blender and blend it very well. Keep it aside.

Then chop garlic cloves and add it to a pan and then add oil (1.5 teaspoons) and fry the cloves for about a minute. Then add red chili flakes and mix very well. Now you can add the tomato blend cream to this pan and add sugar 1 teaspoon and salt 0.25 teaspoons. Then mix it again very well and heat until the mixture is cooked and the sauce is fairly thick.

Finally, you can add Italian herbs and crushed pepper and mix very well. Now you have the sauce!

Now let's make Pizza!

Take the dough and flatten it to remove the air bubbles inside the dough then divide it to equal pieces.

Now preheat a non-stick oil pan on a stove. Then take a tray and sprinkle some flour over it and put your dough piece on it and add 3 drops of oil onto the dough piece. Then you can flatten it with a roller or hand.

Then you can place the pizza on the pan and heat it for 3 minutes. Make sure that the lid is closed. Then remove the lid and flip the side and cook the other side of the pizza for another 3 minutes. Now both sides of the pizza would be having a slight brown color.

Now you can spread the sauce you prepared on the flat pizza. Then you can add a layer of grated cheese and nicely sliced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and olives. If you like, add more cheese and some precooked chicken pieces as well! You might want to add some more herbs and chili flakes on it too for extra taste.

Finally, you can turn off the stove and put the pizza in the pan and close the lid and allow it to cook well. The cheese will melt and the vegetables will be cooked with the remaining heat of the pan. If needed, you may turn on the stove again.

Congratulations you have made your delicious pizza for your family! Now you can slice it with a pizza slicer and serve your loved ones.
