🍕 Step-by-Step: From Start to Finish

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to:

• 220–250°C (425–475°F)

High heat gives you:

• crispy edges
• melted bubbly cheese
• quick cooking

Place a baking tray or pizza stone inside while heating for extra crispiness.

2. Prep the Flatbread Base

Place naan or pita on:

• parchment paper
• baking tray
• or directly on hot tray

If using pita:

• thicker pita = softer pizza
• thin pita = crispier pizza

3. Make the Quick Sauce

In a small bowl mix:

• tomato paste
• olive oil

Optional flavor boosters:

• pinch salt
• garlic powder
• dried oregano
• chili flakes

Spread evenly over the bread using the back of a spoon.

💡 Don’t overload the sauce or the base gets soggy.

4. Add the Cheese

Sprinkle mozzarella evenly.

Best result:

• edges slightly exposed
• cheese not piled too thick

This helps the pizza crisp properly.

5. Add Toppings

Keep toppings light and balanced.

Good combos:

• 8–10 minutes

You’ll know it’s ready when:
