• 1 x 23cm pizza base
• 1 tablespoon tomato puree
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 50g grated Mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried mixed Italian herbs
• 25g cooked ham, chopped
• 25g canned pineapple pieces, drained
• 2 closed cup mushrooms, thickly sliced
• 25g chopped cooked chicken or turkey

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan oven 180°C, gas mark 6.
2. Place the pizza base on a large baking sheet. Spoon the tomato puree on top and spread it evenly over the surface.
3. Arrange the tomatoes over the pizza base. Scatter half the cheese evenly on top, then sprinkle with the herbs. Arrange the ham over one quarter of the pizza with the pineapple pieces.
4. Arrange the mushrooms over a second quarter of the pizza, then the chopped chicken or turkey over a third quarter of the pizza. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
5. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling. Remove from the oven. Cool for a few moments, then serve.

Tip 1: You can make the pizza with just cheese and tomatoes, if you like - this would be a Pizza Margherita. Or make your favourite pizza by adding more of the toppings that you like best.

Tip 2: Always buy ready-grated Mozzarella cheese for pizza toppings, as the whole cheeses are tricky to grate.
