Mini-pita pizza

Mini-Pita Pizzas

 

This one is hubby's favourite (and not just cause of the taste, but because there is hardly any washing up- and he's the dishwasher in our house!).

It's so quick and easy it's barely a recipe- but it's an idea and that's what this blog is all about!

How long from start to finish?: 20 minutes. Seriously! Sooo quick.

2 year old friendly?: Absolutely! A great way to hide vegies!

WHAT YOU NEED
Wholemeal mini pita breads- about 1.5- 2 per adult (depending on appetite) and 1 per child. I use the Bazaar brand cause they're quite thick and hold together better.
Passata (which is in the pasta sauce section of the supermarket in a jar- basically tomato puree which is prepared differently to the canned one).
Light grated cheese
Any toppings you wish!!

TO PREPARE
Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees C
Place the pitas on an oven tray covered with baking paper.
Spread the passata thinly and evenly on the pita breads.
Add cheese and toppings
Put into oven for 10- 12 minutes or until cheese is metled and golden brown.

HEY PRESTO!



Topping ideas...

Hubby's favourite: Put the cheese on first and then top with sliced Proscuitto, halved cherry tomatoes and a bit of fresh basil (pictured above on the left)

What I like to make for Mr 2 year old: Finely slice, chop or grate any vegies handy (most typically I would use zucchini, carrot and/or capsicum. Someimes with mushrooms). Top with lots of cheese.

My favourite: I like to use slices of bocconcini cheese when I have it instead of grated cheese and top with halved cherry tomatoes and basil. I also like to do mushrooms and capsicum with regular cheese.
