How long does it take to make Pita Pizza?
Pita bakes for just a few minutes at high heat: in a home oven about 200°C (390°F) or more, and so does pizza on a ready-made pita, until the cheese melts.

Step by Step
| # | What to do | How long |
|---|
| 1 | In a bowl, mix the tomatoes with the salt. Don't cook it: the sauce cooks on the pizza in the oven | 8 min |
| 2 | Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) | 12 min |
| 3 | Spread the sauce over each pita and arrange the pitas on a baking sheet | 1 min |
| 4 | Scatter the mozzarella over the top | 1 min |
| 5 | Bake 10–12 minutes | 11 min |
How to Tell It's Done
- until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the pita are crisp
Tips
- Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
Common Mistakes
- Spread a thin layer of sauce: pita soaks up liquid fast, and too much sauce makes it soft instead of crisp.
- Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
