- Why did the middle go soggy?
- You likely put on too much sauce or vegetables that release water. The tortilla is thin and cannot support heavy toppings.
- How to get a crispier bottom?
- Bake directly on the wire rack (without a tray), or preheat the baking tray in the oven before placing the pizza on it.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to the highest setting (220-240°C).
Tip: Pizza needs heat shock for the base to be crisp, not a dried-out biscuit.
2
✓
Slice the mushrooms and pepper paper-thin.
Tip: Since the baking time is very short, thick vegetables would remain raw.
3
✓
Place the tortilla wraps on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Spread thinly with tomato sauce, leaving a 1 cm border.
Tip: The 'less is more' principle applies: too much sauce makes the thin wrap soggy.
4
✓
Sprinkle with oregano, then the grated cheese.
Tip: Put the cheese on the sauce, and the vegetables on top of the cheese. This way the cheese anchors the toppings, and the vegetables get direct heat (roasting).
5
✓
Arrange the mushrooms and peppers on top. Drizzle with a few drops of oil.
6
✓
Bake for 5-8 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the edge of the tortilla browns.
Tip: Watch constantly, as the thin dough can burn in moments!
7
✓
Remove and sprinkle immediately with fresh rocket and basil.
Tip: The steam from the hot pizza wilts the rocket just enough.
