Makes 6 pizzas
Pita bread makes a terrific crust for quick and easy individual pizzas that you can make in a regular oven or a toaster oven. You can use a commercial pizza sauce or make your own with the following recipe.
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 teaspoon each: garlic powder and dried basil
½ teaspoon each: dried oregano and thyme
6 pita breads
2 cups chopped vegetables: green onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and/or olives
Preheat the broiler.
Combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, and seasonings. This will make about twice as much sauce as you need. The extra may be refrigerated or frozen for future use.
To assemble the pizza, turn pita bread upside down so it looks like a saucer. Spread with tomato sauce, then top liberally with chopped vegetables. Place on a cookie sheet and broil about 5 minutes, or until the edges just start to get crisp. Or place individual pizzas in the toaster oven and toast for 3 to 5 minutes.
