Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Yield Makes 48 wedges

Number Of Ingredients 13

Fresh Basil, thinly sliced
4 whole-wheat pita breads (each 7 1/2 inches)
1 yellow bell pepper, seeds and membranes removed, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
One half 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the tomato sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion and garlic are browned, about 4 minutes. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, bay leaf, chopped tomatoes, and tomato paste. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is thick, about 35 minutes.
  • Assemble the pizzas: Arrange pita breads on two baking sheets. Spread about 6 tablespoons tomato sauce on each. Scatter strips of yellow bell pepper on top, and then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Transfer the baking sheets to the oven, and bake the pizzas until the peppers begin to wilt and the mozzarella has melted, about 20 minutes. Remove the pizzas from the oven, and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with basil, andcut each pita pizza into 12 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I once had a craving for a pizza, but I didn't have the things to make pizza dough, so I got this idea! A good recipe for kids, too. I use pocket-less pitas we buy from Indian grocery, but I'm sure regular will work. Note: I edited this recipe by making more exact ingredient amounts, sorry about the previous vagueness, I posted this recipe back when I was just 10 or 11. :)
