Homemade Tawa Pizza Recipe without Oven without Yeast

Feeling very excited when I was thinking of a recipe of Pizza without an oven and yeast. Yes, I’m really feeling very enthusiastic.

Pizza is a savory dish of Italian cuisine, usually, round, flattened base of leavened flour-based dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and often various other ingredients baked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven. 

The first pizzeria opened in 1830 in Naples. Naples is also known as the capital of world pizza. In earlier days at Naples, people put the tomatoes on the bread and baked it. It is said that Chef Rafell prepared a three-color pizza, that is red, green, and white for queen Margherita. Thus this was the first pizza which was introduced to the world with the name of Pizza Margherita.

The special variety of tomatoes named San Marzano tomato is a very juicy and tasty tomato cultivated at Naples, which is being used in tomato sauce.  

Generally, people consider that preparing pizza at home is not their cup of tea. So they generally get it from markets. But while we can prepare it at home, then why should we get it from the market.

I am preparing Tawa pizza at home considering that the oven is not available at every one home, yeast is also not the main ingredient of the regular kitchen. I replace the yeast with curd, baking powder, and baking soda. Hope you all will, like it!!!!
