I live right by a bakery that makes middle-eastern cuisine, as well as have a stock of imported goods. Their pita bread is SUPREME! It's light and fluffy, like a pillow. It is also freshly made, daily! Perfect for pita pizza... I can still remember it.

Your oven temperature, is it Celsius or Fahrenheit?

I assume the latter since your oven seems to go to 450/500 degrees. I have never seen a toaster oven reach that kind of heat in Europe ;-)

(250 - 300 degrees Fahrenheit converts to about 120 - 150 degrees Celsius.)

Coool idea!

[james4]

my mom makes these for me

[thelmatot]

if idon't such oven with heat degrees, only an oven toaster, would it be useful for this pizza recipe?

[lydiad1213]

looks tasty cant wait to make it thanks alot!

[lydiad1213]

if you want other things on it like hamburger do i have to put it in for longer?

[lydiad1213]

how many pitas come in one bag?

[lydiad1213]

it looks good already cant wait to make it sounds good

[Galahir950]

Could this work in the microwave if you don't have a toaster oven by toasting the pita before you put it in the microwave or will that not produce good results.

[wdk1313]

I've been making this for years. It does work in the microwave but it's kinda chewy and and puffs up (so don't load it down). My favorite combination is: Ragu sauce 1 serving mozerella (like 1/4 or 1/3 cup) 1 slice swiss cheese onions (or whatever topping you like)

[Weissensteinburg]

There's only one way to find out!

[spicy_puppy]

AWESOME.
the pita bread is soo "pizza like".
and the toppings is totally up to you.
Thanks for sharing the good idea...

Best regards

[watson9194]

great idea shame i get indigestion by eating late at night,but oh well.

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]

im gonna look for for some so i came get tons of them and make tons of these(they look good)

Paul Prudhomme's Pizza and Pasta Magic makes one of these things better than you'd believe. I'd love to see an ible on what's in that stuff.

[Weissensteinburg]

There are websites that show you how to make foods just like those that restaurants are known for. I forget the URLs, but a quick search for something like "how to make cinnabons" might yield some results.

[bowakowa]

'pppapm' is a spice blend available in groceries. garlic, oregano, parmesan, etc. costs about the same as a canister of any one separately, and makes everything taste great in a hurry, when you're not in the mood to chop and slice all fresh ingredients, like when doing pita pizza. I meant I'd like to see someone replicate it at home.

one day, I really wanted to make a pizza i had bread ketchup and cheese(the slices XD) You can guess what i did, And It was Pretty gross.

[sp33dstix]

kraft singles (melted in microwave) + ketchup on bread is awesome!

[ReCreate]

Really?

[sp33dstix]

Sure, if you are really hungry. In general I think grilled cheese with ketcup tastes good.

[ReCreate]

Yuck, I Do not think it would be good.

[sp33dstix]

Well try it, then you will know for sure.

[ReCreate]

No thank you, I did try it, The Ketchup was the worst of all

[cyberpageman]

Bread and ketchup pizza? That's funny and clever and a good try. Thanks for cluing us what NOT to do.

[ReCreate]

and cheddar cheese XD yes never try that at home unless if you plan to vomit XD

[ohowson]

The trick is to toast the bread first. It's gorgeous! I've even worked in a school that serves it at break time!

[ReCreate]

Yesterday I Made myself a few on these, Exept with flour tortillas, It Tasted SO Good, My whole Family Wanted 2 each, They Liked It, Some Wanted Peppers and Onions on it, And a whole bunch of good stuff, It was Good, You are Brilliant, Genius Idea.

Pitta Pizzas have been the backbone of my new diet. Using Wheat Pittas, low fat Mozzarella cheese, low cal Prego sauce, Canadian Bacon and Olives, you can make a pita pizza that has around 300 calories. I have two of them and salad for dinner, about 3 to 4 nights a week. It's easy to eat healthy when it tastes this good! I've lost about 35 lbs and I get to eat pizza whenever I want it! Oh, and 12 minutes in the Oven at 400 degrees make them perfectly crispy.

[raven_christina]

Could you use an oven or a microwave for this instructable?

[sp33dstix]

You could use a microwave oven, my housemate used to use a microwave oven to make them. They come out soggy, but edible. Also as an alternative to "pita sauce" you can also buy a can of spaghetti sauce.

[Weissensteinburg]

Pizza sauce, not pita sauce ;)

[sp33dstix]

ahh thanks for that, skimmed through it pretty quick. Seems like pita pizza sauce is a bit of a tongue twister.

[Weissensteinburg]

You could definitely use an oven. I don't think a microwave would be good, though.

[Serpentine]

I used a microwave and it came out fine.
