Chef's Note

To make the pita crusts extra crispy, you can lightly brush both sides of the pitas with a tiny bit of olive oil and pre-bake them for 3 minutes before adding the toppings!

Ingredients
  • 3 pieces pita bread rounds

  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 6 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 medium red bell pepper

  • 1/2 medium yellow bell pepper

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Wash the 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/2 yellow bell pepper. Remove the seeds and membranes, then finely dice them into small, kid-friendly pieces. Place the diced peppers into small bowls.

  • 3

    Grate the 6 oz of low-moisture mozzarella cheese using a box grater and place it in a separate bowl.

  • 4

    Peel and finely mince the 1 garlic clove.

  • 5

    In a small bowl, prepare the mild pizza sauce by combining the 1 cup of canned crushed tomatoes, minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp of dried oregano, 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1/8 tsp of black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  • 6

    Place the 3 pita bread rounds on the prepared baking sheet.

  • 7

    Set up your assembly station with the bowls of mild pizza sauce, grated mozzarella cheese, and diced bell peppers.

  • 8

    Spread about 3 tablespoons of the prepared pizza sauce evenly over each pita bread round.

  • 9

    Sprinkle each pita with 2 oz of the grated mozzarella cheese, then let everyone customize their pizzas by topping them with the diced red and yellow bell peppers.

  • 10

    Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mozzarella is completely melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, and the pita crust is crisp.

  • 11

    Remove from the oven, let cool for 2 minutes, slice into wedges, and serve.
