Here is your 5-Minute Pita Pizza recipe, featuring images of the process from start to finish.

What You’ll Need

How To Do It

1. Prep and Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the single pita bread disk onto a small, parchment-lined baking sheet. (If the kids are helping, they can use clean hands to lay out the base).
2. Assembly (The 5-Minute Setup): Use a spoon (kids love this part!) to evenly spread your tomato or pizza sauce over the pita base, leaving a little “crust” edge. Then, sprinkle the shredded Mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
3. Bake and Finishing Touches: Bake at 350°F for 7 minutes until the cheese is melted. (Optional Step: If you want crispy, golden cheese on top, turn the oven to BROIL for 1 minute after the 7-minute bake. Watch it closely!) Carefully remove the hot pizza from the oven. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Garnish by gently tearing fresh basil leaves and scattering them on top.

Slice into wedges and enjoy!

Pro Tip: Make It Their Own
