Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 10 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes (recommended: fire roasted Muir Glen)
1 tablespoon julienned fresh basil leaves, plus sprig for garnish
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 cup thinly sliced pepperoni
1/2 cup diced (1/4-inch) red bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 cup quartered and thinly sliced crimini mushrooms
1 cup small-dice buffalo mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Serving suggestions: Toasted pizza dough strips, toasted pita strips, or crackers.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the pizza sauce: Add the olive oil to a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and, when hot, add the onion. Saute until translucent. Add the garlic and red chile flakes, cook for 1 minute, and then add the canned tomatoes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the mixture has thickened, stir in the fresh and dried spices. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Remove from the heat.
  • For the bottom layer: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, garlic and spices. Spread the mixture evenly into an oven-safe casserole (2-quart capacity or a 9-inch pie pan). Set aside.
  • For the toppings: In a small saute pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the pepperoni. Saute until the pepperoni is just crisp, 4 to 5 minutes, and then drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the remaining olive oil and the red bell peppers and saute over medium-high heat until just starting to soften. Add the shallot, cook for 2 minutes, and then add the mushrooms. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes and remove from the heat.
  • To assemble: Spread the pizza sauce over the top of the bottom layer of cheese, sprinkle with the pepper and mushroom mixture, and then the pepperoni. Evenly distribute the mozzarella over the top and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Garnish with the basil sprig and serve hot with pizza dough strips, toasted pita strips, or crackers.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick light string cheese
1 medium-large high-fiber flour tortilla with about 110 calories
2 tablespoons pizza sauce
Dash Italian seasoning
Dash garlic powder
Dash onion powder
1/4 cup chopped spinach leaves

  • Place tortilla on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 10 seconds, or until just warm. Evenly spread sauce onto the center of the tortilla, and sprinkle with a dash of each of the spices. Top with spinach, stewed tomatoes, Parm-style topping, chopped turkey pepperoni, and shredded/grated string cheese.

Tips:

  • Prepare the pita bread properly: To ensure a crispy and evenly cooked pita bread, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible. Brush the pita bread with olive oil or melted butter to enhance its flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pita bread: When assembling your pepperoni pizza pita, avoid overloading it with toppings. Too many toppings can make the pita soggy and prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Bake until golden brown: Keep an eye on the pita bread as it bakes. Remove it from the oven when the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overbaking can dry out the pita bread and make it tough.
  • Experiment with different toppings: Feel free to customize your pepperoni pizza pita with your favorite toppings. You can add sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or even pineapple for a unique flavor combination.
