You'll need

  • 4 white pitta breads
  • 3 tbsp tomato purée, mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 125g mozzarella, torn
  • 1 yellow pepper, sliced
  • 1 pinch dried mixed herbs

Method

How to make it

  1. Heat

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6) and lay the pittas on a baking tray.

  2. Spread

    Mix the tomato purée with the water and spread it over the pittas, right to the edges.

  3. Top

    Share out the mozzarella and pepper slices, then sprinkle over the herbs.

  4. Bake

    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbling. Leave for 2 minutes before eating: the cheese is very hot.

Food safety

Melted cheese is very hot: leave the pizzas for 2 minutes before little ones tuck in.
