Oregano Pizza Seasoning Homemade Pizza
This is the pizza you stopped ordering out for. A crisp base, a tangy tomato spread, melted cheese — and Herby Spice Blend dusted generously over the top before it goes into the oven. That oregano-basil-miriyalu profile bakes right into the cheese, giving you exactly the flavour those little sachets at the pizza counter are trying to replicate — except here, it is built into the pizza itself.
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 12 min | Serves: 2 | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Herby Spice Blend
- 2 store-bought pizza bases (or homemade, 8-inch)
- 4 tbsp tomato ketchup or pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella or processed cheese, grated
- 1 small capsicum, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 8-10 olives or sweet corn (optional topping)
- 1 tsp oil
Method
- Preheat your oven or OTG to 200°C. If you are using a tawa, heat it on medium flame and cover it with a lid — it should be hot before the base goes in.
- Place the pizza bases on a baking tray or directly on the hot tawa. Brush lightly with oil so the underside crisps up rather than steaming.
- Spread tomato sauce evenly across each base, going close to the edges. The sauce should be a thin, even layer — not pooled in the centre.
- Scatter the sliced capsicum and onion over the sauce. Pile the grated cheese on top so it covers the vegetables completely.
- Dust 1 teaspoon of Herby Spice Blend evenly over each pizza before it goes into the heat. This is the step that matters — the oregano, basil, and miriyalu bloom into the cheese as it melts, not after.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden at the edges and the base sounds hollow when tapped. Slice immediately and serve hot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much Herby Spice Blend should I use on a homemade pizza?
Use 1 teaspoon of Herby Spice Blend per pizza base — once dusted over the sauce before baking, and a small pinch more over the melted cheese when it comes out of the oven. This two-layer method gives you depth of flavour rather than just a surface sprinkle.
Can I use Herby Spice Blend on a tawa pizza if I don't have an oven?
Yes — assemble the pizza on a thick base or roti, place it on a heavy tawa on low flame, cover with a lid, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts. Dust Herby Spice Blend over the sauce layer before covering so the heat draws the flavour in.
How long does Herby Spice Blend stay fresh after opening?
Herby Spice Blend stays fresh for up to 6 months after opening when stored in a cool, dry place with the lid sealed tightly. Keep it away from steam and direct sunlight to preserve the aroma of the basil and oregano.
Is Herby Spice Blend suitable for children?
Herby Spice Blend contains a mild amount of red chilli and pepper, so it has a gentle heat — most children who enjoy pizza seasoning will be comfortable with it. Start with half a teaspoon on their portion and adjust based on their preference.
