Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 medium Bell pepper (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Black olives (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush each with olive oil.
Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each pita, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Top each pita with 4 slices of pepperoni and a few pieces of bell pepper and sliced black olives.
Sprinkle dried oregano evenly over the pizzas for added flavor. If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
Carefully remove from the oven and let the pizzas cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing or serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
