Ingredients:
- 1 whole wheat or regular pita bread
- 2-3 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- Your choice of pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
- Olive oil (optional)
- Italian seasoning, dried oregano, or basil (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This may take a few minutes, but it’s essential to ensure your pita pizza cooks evenly.
- Prepare the Pita: Place the pita bread on a clean surface or a plate. If you like a crispier crust, you can lightly brush the pita with olive oil on one side.
- Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. You can use more or less cheese depending on your preference.
- Add Toppings: Add your desired toppings. Be creative and use your favorite pizza ingredients. Remember not to overload the pita, as it can make the crust soggy.
- Season: Sprinkle some Italian seasoning, dried oregano, or basil on top for extra flavor.
- Air Fry: Carefully place the prepared pita pizza into the preheated air fryer basket. If you have a pizza setting on your air fryer, use that. Otherwise, air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the pita crust is crisp.
- Serve: Carefully remove the pita pizza from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Let it cool for a minute, and then slice it into wedges or squares.
- Enjoy: Your air fryer pita pizza is ready to eat! Serve it hot and savor your homemade personal-sized pizza.
