Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Khubz (Middle Eastern pita bread)
- 1 cup Tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the khubz (pita bread) on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Spread approximately 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce evenly on each khubz.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce, dividing evenly across all four khubz.
Top with sliced cherry tomatoes, red onion, and black olives, distributing the toppings evenly.
Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the pizzas for seasoning.
Drizzle a little olive oil over each pizza for added flavor and crispiness.
Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the khubz become golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and delightful Middle Eastern-inspired pizzas!
