Ingredients

  1. 4 pita bread rounds (whole wheat or white)
    1/2 cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
    1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or your favorite pizza topping
    1/4 cup sliced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    Olive oil (for drizzling)
    Fresh basil (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  1. Place the pita bread rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on the oven rack if you want a crispier crust.
  2. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each pita, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  4. Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms. Get creative with whatever you have on hand!
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of oregano and garlic powder over the top for extra flavor.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil over the edges of the pita for added crispiness and flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pita are golden and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
  9. Slice and serve hot!

Notes

  1. For a smoky flavor, use grilled chicken instead of cooked chicken breast.
  2. For extra crunch, add toasted almonds or cashews.
  3. To make it spicier, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.
  4. Avocado adds a creamy texture and healthy fats, so feel free to toss it in!
  5. Swap pineapple for mango or a combination of tropical fruits if you prefer.
  6. For a vegetarian version, use chickpeas or tofu instead of chicken.
