Method

  1. Mix the ground1 chicken with egg, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Spread the mixture onto parchment paper and roll it out into a thin, even circle (~0.2-inch thick) using damp hands.

  3. Bake the crust for 12 minutes until the edges firm up. Remove and drain any excess liquid.

  4. Slice tomatoes3 into rounds, cut bell6 peppers into thin strips, and tear or grate the mozzarella4 into chunks.

  5. Spread tomato3 paste over the crust, then layer on the tomatoes5 and peppers. Sprinkle with oregano and mozzarella4.

  6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for another 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges brown.

  7. Let rest for 5 minutes, slice, and serve.

Tips

Why it works
Bake the crust at 200°C first to render fat and set edges. This prevents a greasy, soggy base when adding toppings. If it’s still juicy, the cheese won’t melt properly.
Substitutions
Use turkey mince instead of chicken (same amount) for slightly leaner texture. Skip tomato paste and add 50g extra diced tomatoes if you lack it.
Common mistakes
Overbaking the crust turns it dry and rubbery; check when edges firm but center still looks slightly wet. Smell for raw chicken odor if unsure.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or within 1 day; reheat in a 180°C oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese melts. Freezing ruins the crust’s texture.
Serve with
Pair with a simple arugula salad dressed in lemon and olive oil for a light contrast to the rich, savory crust.
