👨‍🍳 Method

For the Tomato sauce

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix the tomatoes 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 over the top.
  4. 5
    Bake 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the pita are crisp.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
