Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Mixed vegetables (e.g., diced bell peppers, sliced olives, chopped mushrooms)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, dividing it evenly among the pitas.
Arrange 4 pepperoni slices on each pita, or any other toppings of your choice (e.g., diced bell peppers, sliced olives, chopped mushrooms).
Sprinkle dried oregano evenly over the top for added flavor.
Optional: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Slice into halves or quarters and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pizza Pitas!
