Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For a touch of richness and flavor.
  • 2 garlic cloves minced - To add a fragrant, zesty kick.
  • 4 whole-wheat pita The perfect base that’s hearty yet light.
  • 1 tomato sliced into thin rounds - For a fresh and juicy topping.
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese fresh, low-fat, sliced into thin rounds - Creamy and melty goodness.
  • 2 tablespoons basil fresh, chopped - For a burst of herbal flavor.

Equipment

  • Cutting board and knife
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your pizzas will bake evenly and achieve that perfect crispy crust.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Oil - In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Stir them together, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Step 3: Brush the Pitas - Lay the whole-wheat pita on a baking sheet. Using a brush or the back of a spoon, spread the garlic oil mixture evenly over the surface of each pita. This step infuses the pita with a delicious garlic flavor.
  4. Step 4: Layer on the Toppings - Start layering your toppings. Place the sliced tomatoes evenly over the pita, followed by the mozzarella cheese slices. Don’t forget to sprinkle the chopped basil on top for that fresh aroma and taste.
  5. Step 5: Bake the Pita Pizzas - Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, and the edges of the pita are crispy.
  6. Step 6: Slice and Serve - Remove the pita pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Slice them into quarters for easy serving. Enjoy your homemade Whole Wheat Pita Pizza while it's warm, and savor every bite!
