Pita Pizzas


Making pizza dough is time consuming. Even if you buy it, you still have to bake it. With pita bread, you can bake it in like 10 minutes, put it in a toaster oven, or even microwave it!

1. Get pita.
2. Put on pizza toppings.
3. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubby [but watch out, pita can dry out fast] or microwave for 3-5 minutes to keep pita soft.


Arguably the best part? You can stuff pita, too! Much healthier than those damn pizza pockets, and you can fill with whatever you like.

IDEAS?


Meditteranean Pita Pizza: Whole tomatoes, olives, mushroom, and feta cheese with some oregano. Roasted Red Peppers and Zuchini also a good topping, or some greek-style chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and you can even use HUMMUS, TAPENADE, or TZATZIKI as a base instead of tomato sauce. AMAZING.

Mushroom Melt Pizza: Use a cream sauce instead of a tomato base. with nice big juicy portabellos, and swiss cheese. basil goes great.

THE CLASSIC! Tomato sauce, ham or pepperoni, mushrooms, green onions, and lots of mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of cheese.


MEAT LOVERS. Need I say more? Zesty tomato sauce, red peppers, mozzarella, and sausage, salami, hamburger meat, ham, whatever. lots of tasty meats.


Margharita: simply tomato sauce, tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil.


Flammkuchen, or Alsacian Pizza, or Tarte Flambee. As you can see, you can use Naan bread or any flatbread as well. Alfredo or any cream sauce instead of a tomato base, thinly sliced sweet onion, and crispy bacon bits. lots of black pepper, and a bit of gruyere or emmental.

MORE PIZZAS?
Sundried tomatoes & Goat Cheese
BBQ sauce [instead of tomato sauce] chicken, and blue cheese
Mexican: fajita or taco seasoned meat, red and green peppers, some chili peppers, refried beans as the base, pimento or cheddar cheese
Veggie Lovers: Grilled peppers, zuchini, onion, and mushroom on an herbed tomato sauce base with cheese
BACON. Bacon, cheese. Try a BLT pizza by topping with fresh tomatoes and lettuce after baking.
Spinach, Artichoke & Asiago: on top of a white cream sauce base.
Teriyaki: teriyaki or hoisin sauce as base, peppers, shiitake mushrooms, green onion, chicken or beef. no cheese.
Hawaiian: i hate it. but you know, pineapple, ham, whatever. gross.
Breakfast pizza: scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon!
Super Spicy: Hot Genoa salami, mozzarella, puttanesca sauce as base, some red chili flakes to top, or spicy garlic olive oil.
Parmesan: anything, doused in parmesan. try a chicken-parmesan pizza, or even veal.



The best part? MINI PIZZAS! buy those mini pitas and bring them to a party. soooo awesome. i'd be your best friend if you brought that to my party.
