Pita Pizza Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 large pita bread (use whole-grain if available)
- 1/8 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
- 1/8 cup bottled pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
-
Favorite pizza toppings:
sliced mushrooms, less-fat pepperoni or light salami, chopped green pepper or green onions, chopped red onion, pineapple chunks and lean ham, etc.
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place pita, rounded side down, on a baking
sheet.
2. Spread ricotta cheese over the pita (leaving a crust-like edge around the
pita). Spoon the pizza sauce over the cheese and add desired toppings. Sprinkle
mozzarella over the top and bake for 6-8 minutes (watch carefully so it doesn’t
