How to make?

You would need certain equipments to get started. Keep ready a large bowl for mixing the ingredients as well as a rolling pin, baking sheet or stone as well as iron skillet. In order to make the pita dough you need to start by mixing yeast and water together. Allow the mixture to sit for five minutes. Add 2 and ½ cups of flour, leaving the last half cup of flour for kneading. Add in the oil and salt. Stir the mixture till you have formed a loose dough. Start to knead the dough after this. Sprinkle a little of the flour on a work surface where you can start to knead the dough. Keep kneading for about five or seven minutes till the dough becomes elastic and smooth. In case the dough is too sticky you might want to add in more flour. Keep aside the dough, allowing it to rise. Set the dough aside, for about one or two hours. You could even refrigerate the dough.

After this divide the dough into small balls that need to be rolled out into thin circles with the rolling pin. You will be able to make eight equal pieces out of the dough formed. After the pitas are shaped, start cooking them either on a heated skillet or place them for baking in an oven that is preheated to 450 degree F.

Making pita pizza

Once the pita breads are ready, making the pizza will not take time. In case you wish to make the sauce from scratch, you need to have tomato puree ready. Add a little bit of olive oil to a pan and sauté one or two cloves of garlic in it. Add in the tomato puree and make a mixture. Season it with salt and pepper and put aside. Once the mixture cools, you can spread the tomato mixture on the pita breads after applying a thin layer of olive oil on each. You can then add to vegetables like sliced mushrooms and peppers or any other vegetable of your choice. Finally, sprinkle half a cup of mozzarella cheese on top. You could grill the pizza with a cover. The cheese will melt in about five minutes. It would then be ready for serving.
