Pita Pizza!

Which pizza you like most? My favourite creation is Kimchi & Chicken! ^-^ The pita bread base is as good as homemade dough, chewy texture and crispy outer edge after warming up.

To create the pizza base, brush some olive oil over the smooth side of the bread, spread a layer of tomato paste over the bread, sprinkle some herbs over follow by a layer of your favourite cheese (I used cheddar cheese), lastly top up with your favourite toppings! Bake in preheated oven at 200 deg cel for 10-12mins.

Mushroom & Ham Tortilla Pizza

Method

1. Brush Tortilla Wrap surface with some olive oil. Spread over some tomato paste.
2. Sprinkle some salt over.

Pita Pizza

Instead of normal pizza base, I used a wholemeal pita bread as the base :) Spread with BBQ sauce and top with mozzarella cheese, spread a layer of sauteed onion, teriyaki chicken & basil leaves. Baked in oven at 200 deg cel for 12 mins.
