Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 rounds pita bread pocketless preferred
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30ml)
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup thick marinara sauce (180ml)
  • 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (200g)
  • 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices (70g)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (1.5g)

Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • 1 Pizza Cutter

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut each pita into 8 triangles. Whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Arrange pita triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with oil mixture, and bake for 5-6 minutes until light golden-brown.
  2. Remove from oven. Spread a thin layer of marinara on each chip. Top generously with shredded mozzarella, then arrange mini pepperoni slices on top.
  3. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted, bubbly, and has browned spots. For extra blistering, broil for 30-60 seconds, watching carefully.
  4. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with dried oregano. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Don't skip the pre-bake for maximum crispiness.
Use a thick marinara sauce to prevent sogginess.
Low-moisture mozzarella is essential for the best melt and browning.
Watch carefully if using the broiler as it works very fast.
