Yields

7 servings

Ingredients

7 whole wheat pita breads
1 1/2 cups pizza sauce
21 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
7 ounces pepperoni slices
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Cut the whole wheat pita breads in half and place them in the skillet, cut side down.

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until lightly toasted.

Flip the pita breads over and spread about 1/4 cup of pizza sauce on each half. Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese, a few slices of pepperoni, and a sprinkle of chopped basil.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pita pizzas cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

You can customize your pita pizzas to your liking by adding your favorite toppings – just be sure not to overload them so the crust doesn’t get soggy.

If you want a crisper crust, bake the pita breads for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Keep an eye on them so they don’t get too brown.

You can also use different types of cheese or meats to mix things up.

Fresh basil is a must – it adds such a bright, fresh flavor! If you’re making these for a crowd, consider setting up a toppings bar with extra cheese, pepperoni, and veggies.

That way, everyone can make their own perfect pita pizza.
