| These mini pizzas are simple and delicious! |
2 large (8 inch) pita breads (white or whole wheat)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup of your favorite pasta sauce (I used a traditional no sugar marinara.)
4 ounces (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ounce (1/4 cup) grated parmesan, asiago or romano cheese
1/2 cup meat: pepperoni, cooked sausage, cooked chicken, etc.
1/2 cup vegetables: mushrooms, olives, bell pepper, onions
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Method:
Preheat oven to 400*. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet. Add one teaspoon of olive oil to the center of each bread. Brush the oil from the center out to the edges to completely cover the entire breab.
Add 1/4 cup of sauce to the center of the bread. Use a spatula to spread the sauce evenly over the pita, being careful to leave a small boarder around the the outer edge.
Top the sauce, on each pita, with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese.
Cut pepperonis in half, chop or slice chicken or crumble sausage evenly between the two pitas. Chop or slice the vegetables and sprinkle over the pitas. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over each pizza.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden. (Cooking for 12 minutes will result in a crispier crust.)
Cool for a couple of minutes. Cut into quarters with a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Serves 2 to 4 (with or without a side salad). Recipe may be doubled or trippled. 😀
Notes:
The idea for these pizzas came from my husband. We both were plesed with the flavors and texture. ❤ He said, "Better than Dijourno". 😀
You can customize your pizzas by choosing the sauce, meats and vegetables that you like.
Prep the pita breads with the oil and sauce and let the kids choose their own toppings. 😀
