What ingredients you will need –
- Dough, pizza base, or wraps
- Tomato paste
- Cheese
- Fresh ingredients (e.g. mushrooms, capsicum, onion, tomatoes, olives, garlic, chilli)
- Protein of choice (e.g. prawns, chicken, ham, bacon, pepperoni, tofu)

You will need –

Knife, chopping board, baking tray or pizza stone, spoon, baking paper, oven (preheated to 220°C) or air fryer

Here’s how to make them –

Prep – 15–30 mins
Cook – 20 mins
Total – 35–50 mins

Step 1 – Prepare the base
Place your dough, ready-made pizza base, or wrap on a baking tray lined with baking paper, or use a pizza stone.

Step 2 – Spread the sauce
Spread tomato paste evenly over the base, leaving a small edge for the crust.

Step 3 – Add cheese
Sprinkle a layer of cheese over the base. This can be done before or after adding toppings.

Step 4 – Layer on toppings
Chop or slice your fresh ingredients and spread them evenly across the base.

Step 5 – Add protein (optional)
Top with your choice of protein. The order of toppings doesn’t matter.

Step 6 – Bake
Cook in a preheated oven at 220°C for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted and is bubbling. (Dough bases may take a little longer.)

Step 7 – Serve
Remove carefully, allow to cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy.

Remember: there’s no such thing as the “perfect pizza” every one is different!
