Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a bowl, mix maida, wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, oil, salt, and yogurt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Let it rest for 1 hour, covered.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
Heat oil in a pan and lightly sauté onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Add salt, chili flakes, and oregano. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Pizza Sauce
In the same pan, sauté garlic and onions until golden. Add tomato puree, sugar, vinegar, salt, oregano, and chili flakes. Cook until thick.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Divide the dough into two parts. Roll each into a slightly thick roti. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing.
Step 5: Cook the Pizza Base
Heat a tawa (griddle) and lightly cook one side of the base. Flip, then spread sauce, veggies, and cheese.
Step 6: Add Toppings & Cheese
Sprinkle mozzarella, basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil. Cover and cook on low heat until the cheese melts.
Step 7: Serve Hot!
Slice and enjoy your crispy, cheesy Tawa Pizza straight from the pan!
