- Bread Pizza is a quick, instant and tasty variation of pizza recipe made on griddle or tawa or pan. The bread base mimics the pizza base with veggie toppings. Of course the taste of bread pizza is different than the original Veg Pizza. In this post I am sharing two super easy ways to make bread pizza.
- Bread Pizza made on a skillet, pan or tawa (with pizza sauce)
- Veggie Bread Pizza made in the oven (without pizza sauce)
The recipes are easy to make for a brunch or evening snack. In fact you can easily double or triple the recipes and make for small get togethers or parties.
Bread Pizza on a Skillet, Pan or Tawa
This recipe is one of those snacks that you can make when you get pizza cravings. You just need a fresh loaf of bread, a really good pizza sauce (I would definitely recommend a homemade Pizza Sauce) and some veggies.
Bread: You can use any variety of bread to make bread pizza like whole wheat flour bread or white bread or multi-grain bread or brown bread or wheat sandwich bread. You can even use a couple of days old bread.
Heating: Also do use a heavy tawa or pan. If you use a tawa or skillet that is not heavy, then the bread can get burnt from the bottom. Low heating is the key here as it slowly creates a nice golden crust on the base of the bread.
Base sauce: Generally pizza sauce is used to make a pizza. But in this recipe, you can use white sauce and even pesto sauce as the base sauce. The recipe uses pizza sauce. You can easily make the tomato pizza sauce at home. I have shared the recipe here – Pizza Sauce.
Toppings: For the toppings, you can use veggies of your choice. I always stick to onions, tomatoes and capsicum (bell pepper). I also like to add some olives. Sometimes I add steamed sweet corn too. You can even use baby corn, sautéed mushrooms or sautéed spinach.
Serving Suggestions: Serve bread pizza plain or accompanied with pizza sauce or tomato ketchup
Bread Pizza on Tawa
Toasting Bread
1. Heat a heavy tawa or pan or griddle. Spread about ½ to 1 teaspoon olive oil on it. You can even use butter instead of olive oil. Keep the flame to its lowest. Do use a heavy tawa or pan or else the bread can get too much browned or burnt from the bottom. Also, keep the flame to its lowest when making the entire recipe.
2. Place bread slice on it. You can keep 1 to 2 bread slices at a time depending on the size of the tawa or pan. You can use any variety of bread like white bread, whole wheat or brown bread or multi grain bread.
3. Lightly toast the bread from the base and then flip it.
