Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pitas

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup roasted red bell peppers, sliced

1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it reaches the proper temperature for baking.

    Prepare the Pitas: Arrange the whole wheat pitas on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over each pita, then use a brush or the back of a spoon to spread the oil evenly across the surface.

      Season the Pitas: Generously sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the oiled pitas. This will infuse the base with flavor as it bakes.

        Add Cheese and Toppings: Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each pita, ensuring to leave about a half-inch border around the edges for the crust. Layer the sliced roasted red bell peppers, chopped spinach, and crumbled feta cheese on top of the cheese. For those who enjoy a spicy kick, add the red pepper flakes across the toppings.

          Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden, and the pitas are crisp to the touch.

            Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the pita pizzas cool for about a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor and color. Slice each pita into quarters and serve warm, allowing everyone to enjoy their delicious creations!
