Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients

- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 4 slices of chicken ham
- 4 slices of cheese
- 2 tomatoes (or 400 g canned tomatoes)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olives for decoration (optional)

Preparing the tomato sauce

1. Start by preparing the tomato sauce. If you want, you can peel the tomatoes, but I recommend leaving them as they are for a richer texture. Cut the tomatoes into large pieces and add them to a blender.
2. Add oregano, peeled and chopped garlic, salt, and pepper to the blender. Blend the ingredients until you get a smooth sauce. The flavor of the sauce can be adjusted to personal preferences – more garlic for a stronger taste or more oregano for a Mediterranean aroma.

Preparing the pizza

3. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature (about 180°C).
4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the slices of whole grain bread in the tray. These will serve as the base of the pizza and will develop a delicious crust during baking.
5. Evenly distribute the tomato sauce over each slice of bread, ensuring it is well covered.
6. Cut the ham and cheese into small cubes and distribute them evenly over each slice. The ham adds flavor, and the cheese will melt and form a tasty crust.
7. If desired, add an olive on each slice for extra flavor and a more appealing look.

Baking

8. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Watch closely as the cheese melts and browns. The aroma that will spread in the kitchen will make you want to eat faster!
9. When the pizza is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting it.

Serving and variations

This quick pizza is extremely versatile! You can add fresh vegetables like peppers or onions, or you can try using different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta. Also, for a vegetarian option, exclude the ham and add more vegetables.

Useful tips for a perfect result

- Choose a quality whole grain bread for a more nourishing base with better flavor.
- If you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand, canned tomatoes are an excellent alternative.
- Experiment with spices! Oregano is classic, but you can try basil, thyme, or even chili for a spicier taste.

Nutritional benefits

This quick pizza is not only tasty but also healthy. Whole grain bread provides fiber, chicken ham is a good source of protein, and tomatoes are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Olives add healthy fats and a delicious taste.
