Pita Pizzas

Pita Pizza

These little individual pizzas are super easy and quick to make.  Kids can help and make what they want.  Pizzas only bake for 6 - 10 minutes, prep item depends on how silly of a mood your kids are in.

You will need:

1 package of wheat PITA POCKETS

MOZZARELLA CHEESE

TOMATO SAUCE (I used some leftover, but you can use a small can)

TOPPINGS - whatever you like

For crispy pizzas -broil pitas on low for about 5 minutes before topping

For softer pizzas - place toppings, then bake

I put my pizzas under the broiler until the cheese was golden.  This took about 6 minutes.

You can bake on 400 for 8-10 minutes as well.

Get the kids involved.  They can put on as much or as little of the toppings as they like.
