This is a quick and easy recipe for Stove Top Pizza. This is just perfect for times when you want to enjoy homemade snack such as pizza and don't feel like ordering take-out pizza or going anywhere! The best part is that you also don’t need to have access to a good oven.

Add oil and yogurt to the flour and mix it well, add water as needed to make soft dough will be little sticky. Sprinkle little dry flour over the dough and knead to make smooth dough.
Cover the dough and let it sit for about 3 hours or more.
In a saucepan heat the oil on medium high heat. Add all the sauce ingredients, tomatoes, salt, sugar, pepper, and Italian herbs. Cook for about 3 minutes till most of the water from tomato has evaporated and looks like a chunky sauce.

July 1, 2015 at 10:20 pmHi….madam I have used many of your recipes n have turned out successful.Just as a reminder mozzarella cheese is not vegetarian as many other cheese,it contains rennet which is an extract from the hoofs of the cow,what other cheese can I use,I am a Hindu n can’t consume this cheese.Thank you.

I also don’t use cheese with rennet, in market many brand of mozzarella cheese available without rennet, just read the ingredients.
