We use to go out for good pizza a few times a year. I love a nice , thin and crispy base with minimal but fresh toppings. It beats a pizza that is stacked with 7 kinds of meat and cheese filled to the edge which feels like it is clogging my arteries with every bite.

We experimented a bit by noting down the ingredients on Pizza menus of our favourite restaurants and came up with this ridiculously simple and quick yet tasty pizza recipe. It’s for those people who claim they cant cook or have no time.

Recipe

• 1 piece Lebanese bread
• Handful of basil
• Mushrooms
• Red onion
• Tomato paste or Sauce
• Salami / Pepperoni or meat of your choice
• Mozzarella cheese
• Bocconcini cheese
• Freshly cracked pepper

1. Toast the lebanese bread. I use a sandwhich press which has a flat surface. You can also put it under the grill. The reason for toasting is because it ensures the base is flat and crispy. Toast until it is flat and hard.
2. Spread tomato paste and lightly spread some mozzarella cheese onto the base.
3. Add meat ensuring you leave space to put bocconcini into the gaps. Rip the bocconci and add to the base into the gaps.
4. Add rest of ingredients.
5. Put under the grill until cheese is melted. You can also use an oven but I don’t because the base is so thin there is no need. Served with freshly cracked pepper.
