– Quick and Easy Pizza with Manchego, Roasted Peppers & Spanish Olives –
There is nothing better than homemade pizza, you can add whatever toppings you want and you get to enjoy all the amazing aromas coming out of your kitchen. The only problem? most people don´t have the time to make homemade pizza. Well…that´s about to change. Here is a recipe for a Quick and Easy Pizza with Manchego, Roasted Peppers & Spanish Olives that is done in just about 15 minutes. I used pita breads as the pizza base, making this pizza super fast and easy to make. This pizza uses a simple combination of flavors but has an extraordinary flavor. Serve it as a tapas appetizer or next to a Simple Green Salad for a complete meal.
– How to Clevery use Pita Bread as your Pizza Base –
The secret to using pita breads as your pizza base is to cut them open horizontally so you end up with 2 pizza bases from each pita bread. You don´t want to use the whole pita as your base, your pizza will be too thick and the pizza will pretty much taste like bread. By using this method you get a better texture and you can enjoy the flavors of the pizza. Speaking of flavors, I added some Kiva Hot Smoked Spanish Paprika to these pizzas to give them a bit of a kick and a lot more depth in flavor, this truly took these pizzas to the next level.

I’ve just got back from my first ever trip to Spain! Barcelona was our destination and we could get the most gorgeous pizzas from a tiny pizzeria opposite our apartment. These pizzas are taking me right back. I’ll definitely be putting them on my menu for next week!
