This Middle Eastern-inspired pizza is made with pita bread insetad of pizza dough. Pita bread is light and as well as being great for use as the usual pita pockets, or as a wrap, it also makes a perfect pizza base.
With a bag of pitas tucked in the freezer, a snack or light meal can be readily assembled.
Ingredients:
For each serving:- 1 pita round
- olive oil
- 1-2 tomatoes
- ½-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 basil leaves
Sprinkle a little extra virgin olive oil onto the pita bread. Cut the tomatoes into rough chunks and distribute over the base. Sprinkle on the cheese top with the basil leaves. Bake in a preheated 230C oven for 10 minutes until the cheese bubbles. Serve.
Fleshy Italian tomatoes are a good choice for this recipe. Keep them in a bowl in the kitchen instead of refrigerating. You will be surprised at the taste difference.
If this simple pizza is too plain, you can add anchovy fillets, some black olives, chopped artichoke hearts and a little salami.
