Ingredients
Scale
- 4 mini pita breads or small round flatbreads (about 4-inch diameter)
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- Pinch of garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 pepperoni slices (turkey pepperoni recommended)
- ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
- ¼ cup thinly sliced mini bell peppers (optional)
- Parmesan cheese for sprinkling (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves or dried oregano for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of tomato sauce with a pinch of garlic powder and ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
- Lay out 4 mini pitas or flatbreads on your work surface. If using pita, slice them in half horizontally for thinner rounds, or use as is for a thicker crust.
- Use a small spoon or butter knife to evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of the seasoned tomato sauce on each pita. Avoid overloading to prevent sogginess.
- Sprinkle about ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella over each sauced pita, covering the sauce evenly.
- Place 3 pepperoni slices on each pizza base. Add optional toppings like sliced black olives or bell peppers if desired.
- Optional: Melt the cheese by placing the assembled snacks on a baking sheet and heating in a toaster oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or microwave on medium power for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- Sprinkle with a little parmesan or dried oregano and let cool slightly before packing. Add fresh basil leaves for garnish if available.
Notes
Keep sauce and toppings separate if prepping ahead to avoid soggy pita. Use fresh shredded mozzarella for best melt. Toaster oven crisps edges without drying toppings; microwave works for quick melt but watch carefully. Snacks travel well in cooler bags and store up to 2 days refrigerated.
