Time 17m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (1-pound) package large pita breads (6 pita rounds)
1 1/2 cups Best Basic Red Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought pizza sauce, divided
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella or Monterey Jack (about 6 ounces), divided
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
3/4 cup chopped yellow onions (1 medium yellow onion)
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (2 cloves garlic)
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Make sure the oven rack is in the lower 1/3 of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Lay the pita rounds on 2 large baking sheets. Pour 1/4 cup of the Best Basic Red Sauce or pizza sauce on each round and spread it evenly with the back of the spoon. Top each with 1/4 cup of the grated cheese.
  • Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the sheets from the oven. Cut each pita pizza into 6 slices with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, transfer them to a plate using a turner, and serve immediately.
  • In a medium, heavy pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, salt, basil, oregano and black pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes.
  • Place the tomatoes in a large bowl and squeeze to break into small pieces. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, and sugar to the pot and stir well. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally with a heavy wooden spoon.
  • Eat-a-Pita Pizza for 1: For each pita round, you'll need just 1/4 cup of the Best Basic Red Sauce or store-bought pizza sauce and 1/4 cup of your favorite grated cheese. Preheat a toaster oven to 400 degrees F and assemble your pita pizza according to the directions above. Carefully place your pita pizza in the toaster oven and bake it for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Using a turner, carefully transfer your pita pizza to a cutting board and cut it into 6 slices with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Transfer the pita pizza to a plate and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of pita bread, but I loved this recipe. The pita bread was crispy and flavorful and the toppings were all delicious. I especially liked the combination of the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and basil.

This pita pizza was a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I had some leftover chicken and vegetables, and I just threw them on top of the pita bread with some cheese and sauce. It was delicious and I didn't have to waste any food.

I was skeptical about using pita bread as a pizza crust, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was crispy and flavorful and held up well to the toppings. I'll definitely be making this again.
