Making pizza at home is easy when you use store-bought naan bread as the base.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika (pimenton)
2 teaspoons caster sugar
1 teaspoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons sherry or red wine vinegar
1 1/4 cups (310ml) Ardmona Pureed Tomatoes
6 naan or pita breads
1 small barbecue chicken, skin and bones removed, meat shredded
1 green capsicum, thinly sliced
1 long green chilli, thinly sliced
200g ricotta, crumbled
1/3 cup (50g) pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted
Rocket leaves, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
2.

Heat oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the paprika and sugar, then cook for a further 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, vinegar and passata, reduce heat to low, then cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes until thickened. Remove sauce from the heat.
3.

Spread the tomato sauce over the naan or pita breads, leaving a 1cm border. Top with the shredded chicken, capsicum, chilli and ricotta, then place on the lined baking trays and bake for 10-12 minutes until the bread is golden and crisp, and the topping is warm.
4.

Sprinkle the pizzas with pumpkin seeds and rocket, then serve immediately.
