Quick and Easy Pizza

So I know this is cheating. I haven't made my own base, or my own sauce, but this is so quick and easy and it's perfect for a weeknight meal or a lazy weekend lunch.

All the ingredients are bought at the local supermarket and it's just a matter of assembly.

Ingredients:

• bread for base (Lebanese bread, pita bread, Turkish bread...)
  You can use any flat bread you like, but I find thinner breads work better for a crispy, crunchy bottom with the focus on the toppings. If you prefer more bread to sink your teeth into, then Turkish bread works quite well (sliced in half lengthways) - you get a bit more balance between base and toppings. Depends on what tickles your fancy I guess.
  
• tomato sauce (can be pizza specific, doesn't have to be)
• toppings, some suggestions: fresh tomato, mushroom, fresh basil, spinach, ham, salami, boccocini, grated mozzarella / cheddar / parmesan

Assembly is pretty easy:

1. Spread sauce over your bread base. (You can add any herbs you like here.. oregano, basil, etc.)
2. Sprinkle grated cheese on. (I know there are some who prefer the grated cheeses on top, but I find it works better on the bottom..)
3. Add the rest of your toppings.

You can assemble all your pizzas in advance. Store layered on a flat plate with glad wrap between each layer.



"Cooking"

1. Heat the pizza in a large frypan over medium heat with the lid on for 5 minutes (or until your cheese melts)
2. Remove the lid and heat for a further 5 minutes on medium-high heat to crisp the base

Finito!

So there's my cheater's pizza... No dough twirling required and plenty of taste!
