Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Pizza sauce
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the pita bread on a baking sheet and brush it lightly with olive oil to help it crisp up during baking.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pita, leaving a small border around the edges as a crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Top with pepperoni slices, spacing them out evenly.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and a pinch of salt over the top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before slicing into pieces and serving.
