That's a beautifully honest and helpful note—you’ve added a personal touch that makes the recipe more relatable, especially for people who might not be huge fans of cheese or have dietary sensitivities. Here's how we can structure your message into a final blog-style note or recipe footnote, while keeping your personality and intent intact:
π¬ Author’s Note:
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of pizza recipes myself. In fact, I generally avoid cheese-based dishes because I tend to feel bloated even after just a couple of small slices. That said, I don’t mind indulging occasionally, and when I do, I usually prefer baking pizza in my oven.
However, I’ve been getting a lot of requests lately to share a veg pizza recipe without an oven and without yeast, so here it is! I’m reposting my older recipe with updated measurements and skipping the yeast entirely.
I hope you find this version useful—whether you’re making it for yourself or for someone who loves pizza. And if you try it, I’d love to hear your feedback!
π Quick Alternatives & Tips:
-
No time to make dough? Use a ready-made pizza base and jump straight to the pan cooking and topping part.
-
No pizza sauce? Use tomato ketchup or plain tomato sauce and add a pinch of mixed herbs, pepper, and chili flakes to create a simple pizza sauce hack.
-
Baking instead of pan-cooking? This same dough recipe works great in a regular oven or convection microwave—just preheat and bake at 200°C (about 400°F) for 10–12 minutes.
-
Topping Tips: Stick to veggies that cook quickly, like bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and corn. Avoid harder veggies like potatoes or carrots unless they’re pre-cooked.
-
Low flame is key: Always cook your tawa pizza on low heat. Don’t rush it with a high or even medium flame, as that can burn the base before the cheese melts.
