Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cooked ham
- 1 handful Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Brush each pita bread lightly with olive oil to enhance crispness and flavor.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a dash of dried oregano over the marinara sauce for added flavor.
Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each pita bread.
Add the cooked ham, cut into small pieces, evenly over the cheese layer.
If desired, add fresh basil leaves on top for a burst of fresh flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly before cutting into wedges or serving whole.
Serve your Ham and Cheese Pita Pizzas warm and enjoy!
