Easy Pizza Recipes

Lazy pizza on the stovetop is a quick, simple and remarkably tasty way to make pizza for anyone who dreams of their favorite dish but doesn't want to bother with yeast, rolling dough or the oven. The defining feature of this recipe is a pourable batter that comes together in 5 minutes, is poured straight into the pan and during cooking turns into a pizza base with your favorite toppings on top. In 15 minutes you have hot, fragrant and appetizing homemade pizza on the table that's every bit as good as the classic. It's an ideal solution for hungry kids, unexpected guests or lazy weekends. In a bowl whisk eggs with sour cream (or mayonnaise) and kefir, add flour, salt and baking powder and mix thoroughly until smooth. Pour the batter onto a hot oiled pan, top with tomato sauce, sliced sausage or ham, tomato, olives and grated cheese. Cook covered for 12-15 minutes. Proportions for a 26 cm pizza inside.

Flammekueche (also called tarte flambée) is the famous national dish of French Alsace and the neighboring regions of Germany — a thin crispy flatbread of unleavened dough with a signature creamy base and a characteristic topping of bacon and finely sliced onion. In shape flammekueche is very similar to the pizza we're used to, but it has fundamental differences: the dough is yeast-free, the "sauce" is thick crème fraîche with fromage blanc, and the traditional topping consists of just three ingredients. Roll out a dough of flour, water, olive oil and a pinch of salt very thin directly on parchment. Spread with the crème fraîche and cream cheese mix, top with sautéed bacon and onion rings. Bake at 250°C (480°F or as hot as your oven goes) for 8-12 minutes. Proportions for 1 flammekueche inside.

Zucchini pizza on the stovetop is an original and wholesome way to enjoy your favorite pizza while watching your health and figure. It's a tasty light dish in which the usual wheat base is completely replaced with juicy rounds of young zucchini — making the "pizza" significantly lighter and lower in calories while keeping all the beloved flavors of classic Italian pizza: tomato sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings. It's an ideal quick lunch or dinner for anyone on a diet or avoiding wheat. Slice young zucchini into 1 cm rounds, lightly salt them and cook on a dry pan for 2 minutes per side. On each round place a spoonful of tomato sauce, a slice of tomato, a piece of ham or sausage, and sprinkle with grated mozzarella. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts. Proportions for 2 servings inside.
