This Ham, Tomato & Rocket Pizza is a healthier take on the classic pizza recipe. It is made with wholemeal pita bread, which is higher in fibre and nutrients than traditional pizza dough. The toppings include fresh cherry tomatoes, red onion, shaved ham, low-fat ricotta cheese and baby rocket, making it a nutritious meal that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. The combination of flavours and textures is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced).
2.	Place pitas on two oven trays lined with baking paper, spread 1 tablespoon of tomato paste on each pita.
3.	Top with ham, cherry tomatoes and red onion slices, then spoon on ricotta cheese.
4.	Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the vegetables become lightly roasted. Sprinkle over with fresh basil leaves and cut each pita into quarters to serve.

CONS

The pita bread base is not as crispy as traditional pizza dough, and the toppings may slide around a bit as you eat.
