Base Ingredients

4 medium pita bread (6-inch; 15 cm)
1 batch avocado sauce
1 batch barbecue chickpeas

Recommended Toppings

½ block smoked tofu (100 g)
½ medium bell pepper (70 g)
½ small red onion (50 g)
1 cup corn (160 g)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

Begin by preparing a batch of avocado sauce, then prepare a batch of BBQ chickpeas.
1 batch avocado sauce, 1 batch barbecue chickpeas
Thinly slice some smoked tofu and cut each slice in half (or smaller if desired).
½ block smoked tofu
Thinly slice the bell pepper, red onion and tomato.
½ medium bell pepper, ½ small red onion, 1 Roma tomato
I use frozen corn and defrost it in the microwave (about 2 minutes).
1 cup corn
If using pickled hot peppers, remove them from their jar and place onto paper towel to drain excess liquid.

Step 2: Assemble pizza

Cover 2 baking trays with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
Lay pita breads on the baking trays.
4 medium pita bread
Cover the pita bread with a layer of avocado sauce. You can use all the sauce on the base or save some to drizzle on top later.
1 batch avocado sauce
Next, assemble the pizza by adding the prepared toppings. If using smoked tofu, I recommend putting this on first so it doesn’t dry out. It’s also best to put the tomato and pickled hot peppers on top.

Step 3: Bake and Serve

Place your pizzas into an oven preheated to 350 °F for 12-15 minutes.
Rotate the pans halfway through cooking (move the pan on the higher rack to the lower rack and vice versa.
The pizzas are done when your pita bread is crisp. Remove from your oven at this point.
As an optional step, drizzle extra avocado or barbecue sauce onto the pizza before serving.
Serve using a fork and knife to eat this protein-packed, topping-loaded pizza!
