    Amritsari Pizza Kulcha or Stuffed bread pizza is a variation to traditional Indian kulcha where the flatbread is stuffed with potatoes (aloo) and onion (pyaaz) along with aromatic spices and then topped with your favorite pizza toppings.

    This bread is vegetarian, can be easily made vegan, and can be served for lunch and dinner.

    If you have not yet checked my AMRITSARI KULCHA, a classic and traditional kulcha recipe, do prepare it first and with any leftovers, you can make several variations like the one below.  The recipe below is a build-on recipe for the original kulcha recipe.

    What is Kulcha?

    Kulcha, similar to naan, is a popular flatbread from India, prepared using flour (maida) and leaving agent (yeast, baking powder, or sourdough) and stuffed with potato, onion, and aromatic spices.

    It can be baked in a clay oven (tandoor), oven, or stovetop.

    How do you serve kulcha?

    Kulcha, like naan, can be served with any Indian gravy or curry of your choice. The most popular combination is CHOLE KULCHA.

    Kulcha varieties

    The dough can be prepared using milk or yogurt instead of water for a softer version and this type is also known as doodhia kulcha

    Instead of potato and onion filling, you can also fill the kulchas with boiled and mashed mixture of vegetables, paneer, etc.

    Some tips to know before you start making kulcha
    • The dough should be soft and smooth for the best results. Make sure to add flour in parts and keep kneading it instead of adding all the flour at once because the amount of flour depends on the brand of flour and importantly the local weather conditions.
    • The combination of spices you use is what makes this bread taste great. Use the right proportion for both the stuffing and garnish.
    • I have topped with capsicum (bell peppers), sliced onions, and cheese. Use any pizza toppings of your choice.
    • You can make this on the stovetop or oven. Both methods are given in the recipe below.
    • The ingredient list may look lengthy but the process is super easy and only basic ingredients are required.

    How to make Amritsari Pizza Kulcha or Stuffed Naan Bread at home?
    Step I (Prepare the Kulcha dough)
    • In a bowl, add lukewarm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast. Cover and leave it undisturbed for 10 minutes. Let the yeast activate.
    • Once the yeast has activated, add salt, and oil. Add flour (maida) in parts and mix.
    • Knead this for 4 to 5 minutes till a soft dough is formed.
    • Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover and keep it in a warm place for at least 1 hour.
    Step II (Prepare the spices)
    • In a small bowl, add crushed coriander seeds, red chile powder, garam masala or kitchen king masala, chaat masala, salt, and mix. Keep this aside.
    Step III (Prepare the filling or stuffing)
    • In another bowl, add boiled potatoes, onion, green chile, coriander leaves, lemon juice, salt to taste, half of the spice mixture from Step II and keep it aside.
    Step IV (Roll, Shape, and Bake)
    • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F or the highest setting in your oven.
    • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it using a rolling pin.
    • Add the filling at the center, bring the edges together at the center and close it to form a ball again. Gently roll it again to form kulcha.
    • Transfer this to the greased baking pan.
    • Brush kulcha with butter. Top it with onion, bell pepper or capsicum, and cheese.
    • Sprinkle some portion of the spice mixture from Step II.
    • Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
    • Bake this for about 7 to 8 minutes.
    • Amritsari Pizza Kulcha is now ready. Brush it with some more butter if needed.

    FOR THE STOVETOP OR TAWA METHOD :

    Heat tawa or griddle. Place one kulcha at a time and because you are adding cheese cover the griddle and cook on one side. When brown spots appear at the bottom, flip and cook on the other side just for few seconds if needed. Use butter or ghee to cook the kulcha. Then garnish it with some more butter and serve.

    Can I substitute yeast with baking powder while making kulcha?

    Yes. You can substitute yeast with baking powder. You do not have to rest the dough for a longer time in such a case.
