I was craving a pizza, a fresh crispy pizza. None of that frozen stuff they dare call pizza. I wanted the real deal, but sadly I don't own an oven. So looked for a way to make a fresh pizza without an oven or a microwave. I read somewhere that in India they make pizzas in cast iron skillets. I decided to give it a go and it worked!

You Will Need (8 things)

  • 2 ¾ tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 2 ½ cup Flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • optional topping Vegetables
  • 1 tbsp Oil

Steps (8 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt. Add the oil. Gradually add the water while you mix the ingredients, mix until you can form a ball with the mixture. Mixture should not be sticky.

  2. 2

    Knead over a floured surface for a few minutes, between 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grease your skillet, I suggest using a cast iron skillet because it distributes the heat better, but I sud a non-stick pan and it worked too. You can use whatever you like for greasing, I used PAM Baking spray.

  4. 4

    Roll out your dough and place it on the skillet, like a pie crust leaving some crust for the borders. I dont have a roller, so I used a big jar.

  5. 5

    Now fill your pizza with the ingredients you prefer. My veggie pizza has tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, green peppers, onions, a bit of grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.

  6. 6

    Place on the stove in low heat, you want the cheese to melt and the veggies to soften before the crust gets toasted.

  7. 7

    Cover your pizza and let cook from 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your crust. Mine were pretty thin so it took about 10 minutes. I brushed a little of butter on the crust that showed on the top so it would look more golden.

    Now that it's done, just take out of the fire, slice and enjoy!
