Ingredients for Antipasto Pizza

  • Pita Pockets
  • 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • 100g sliced salami
  • Eggplants
  • Artichoke Hearts
  • Roasted Red Peppers
  • Kalamata Olive
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Basil Leaves

How to Make Antipasto Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  2. Lightly grease two baking trays.
  3. Place two pita breads on prepared trays. Spread each with 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over each.
  4. Top each pita with 50g of sliced salami, 50g of roasted eggplant (diced), 50g of artichoke hearts (quartered), 50g of sliced bell peppers (capsicum), and 2 tablespoons of pitted Kalamata olives.
  5. Arrange 75g of fresh mozzarella pearls (or 50g shredded mozzarella) over the toppings on each pizza.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pita bases are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with fresh basil leaves before serving.
  8. **Variations:** Use 75g of grated tasty cheese instead of mozzarella. Substitute or add other marinated vegetables such as 50g of sliced mushrooms, 50g of zucchini (thinly sliced), or 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes. For a different base, use garlic bread or bruschetta instead of pita bread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
