Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pita breads

1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup sliced pepperoni or your choice of protein (grilled chicken, marinated tofu, etc.)

1 cup mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green), thinly sliced

½ cup black olives, pitted and sliced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Olive oil for drizzling

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). For an extra crispy crust, place a baking sheet in the oven while it heats up.

    Prepare the Pita: Lay the whole wheat pita breads flat on a clean surface. Lightly drizzle or brush a small amount of olive oil onto each pita. This will enhance their crispiness when baked.

      Spread the Sauce: Using a spoon, evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each pita bread, ensuring to leave a thin border around the edges for a better hold.

        Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring complete coverage for that gooey, melty goodness.

          Layer Toppings: Distribute your chosen toppings evenly over the cheese. You can layer on the pepperoni, mixed bell peppers, and black olives. Feel free to get creative with any other favorites like mushrooms, spinach, or artichokes!

            Season: Enhance the flavor by sprinkling the pizzas with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.

              Bake: Carefully transfer your mini pizzas onto the preheated baking sheet (or directly onto the oven rack for an additional crunch factor). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and turns a lovely golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Once they are done baking, take them out of the oven and let them cool for about a minute. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch. Slice the pizzas into quarters and serve hot for a delightful appetizer or snack!
