If you don't have a microwave you can melt it over a regular stove.
Before you add the egg into the mix, make sure they are at room temperature otherwise the egg will cook in the hot milk
If you don't have a bread machine you can check the article: how to make dough without the bread machine
If you don't have a dough press you can shape the rounds by rolling the dough and using a cookie cutter or a glass to cut the round shapes.
You will probably have to bake the pizzette in batches as they will not all fit at once into a large baking pan
