PITA PIZZA POCKET- WEIGHT WATCHERS (WW) 4PTS!!
This recipe is 4 pts. Please remember to not go off of stats on recipezaar because you have to choose the right ingredients to make it. Here is a break down... Pita- 1 pt : Salad pita pocket Pepperoni- 1 pt : 5 slices (if you want less pts, use turkey, I didn't. I don't like it.) Cheese- 1 pt : fat free mozerella Sauce- Ragu has the least amt of calories and fat that I have found use whatever vegetable toppings you want. I listed what I used below. When you add everything up and put it into ww calculations it comes up with 4 pts. (I guess everything else gets you one more pt.)

Steps:

Tips:
- For a crispy pita pizza, use a pita bread that is slightly stale. This will help it to hold its shape in the oven.
- To prevent the pita bread from becoming soggy, brush it with olive oil or melted butter before adding the toppings.
- Don't overload the pita bread with toppings. Too many toppings will make it difficult to cook evenly.
- Bake the pita pizza at a high temperature (450-500 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short amount of time (8-10 minutes). This will help to create a crispy crust.
- If you are using fresh mozzarella cheese, be sure to slice it thinly. This will help it to melt evenly.
- For a more flavorful pita pizza, use a variety of toppings. Some popular options include pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives.
- Be creative with your toppings! There are endless possibilities for what you can put on a pita pizza.
Conclusion:
Pita pizza is a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great option for a busy weeknight dinner or a fun weekend lunch. With so many different topping options, there is sure to be a pita pizza that everyone will love.
