Mini pita pizzas
( MAKES 10 )
Keep a stash of pita breads in the freezer for the speedy assembly of these tasty pizzas. You can also cook these on a barbecue with a lid.
If you’re at home, make a menu board with different flavours and let the kids assemble their own. Have a selection of your choice of toppings, such as salami, bacon, ham, prawns, fresh tomato slices, asparagus spears, mushrooms, red peppers, olives.
Ingredients
| 10 | Pita breads |
| ½ cup | Pizza sauce, or tomato paste |
| 4 cups | Grated mozzarella, or edam |
Directions
- Preheat oven to 220C fanbake and line 2 oven trays with baking paper for easy clean-up.
- Arrange pitas in a single layer on the oven tray, whole for a thicker base or split in half through the middle for a thin base. If not splitting, pierce the side of each pocket to prevent puffing; if splitting, arrange with the cut sides up.
- Spread with pizza sauce or tomato paste. Top with some cheese, toppings of your choice, then a little more cheese.
- Bake until topping is cooked through and lightly golden brown (8-10 minutes). Serve whole or in wedges.
