Pita Pizza – Pareve version

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Tomato sauce

1. 1
   In a bowl, mix the tomato paste, basil and black pepper with the salt. Don't cook it: the sauce cooks on the pizza in the oven.

To assemble

1. 2
   Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡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.
2. 3
   Spread the sauce over each pita and arrange the pitas on a baking sheet.

   Baking pan

   💡Spread a thin layer of sauce: pita soaks up liquid fast, and too much sauce makes it soft instead of crisp.
3. 4
   Scatter the mozzarella, peppers, cherry tomatoes and oregano over the top.
4. 5
   Drizzle the olive oil over the top.
5. 6
   Bake 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the pita are crisp.
