Directions
Pizza base:
I have used a large pita as my pizza base as it gets nice and crunchy and is lower in fat, however you can just as easily use a pizza dough. Also with the pita base it is better to cook it from frozen.
Pizza toppings:
I also like my pizza toppings crunchy and fresh, however, you could alternatively flash fry the onions, mushrooms and capsicum THEN put it on the pizza. Generally this creates a more soggy pizza. Depends what you feel like.
Heat the oven to 180 degrees celcius.
Spread the tomato sauce on the frozen pita base then sprinkle with italian herbs and garlic.
Place the sliced onions, mushrooms and capsicum on the pizza (I prefer to layer them a bit)
Top with the salami/pepperoni pieces.
Place in oven and cook until the salami begins to curl a bit and the veggies are cooked, then add the cheese on the pizza and return to the oven until it is melted.
