Pita Pizzas

LBA and SoBA are in the midst of their Spring Break at the Launchpad.  They have reached an age where they can be on their own, with LBA in charge of SoBA.  Both Mrs. BA and I can keep an eye on them virtually to ensure they don't hurt themselves or others.

LBA, who is now 13, can also cook for himself, on a limited basis.  Recently, he requested the addition of pitas in his lunch and then I saw this recipe, which I think he could handle.  From the Baker Chick via BuzzFeed's "19 No-Fuss Meals You Can Make Using What's In Your Fridge."  I am trying to be better about eating and cooking out of the freezer.

Five Minute Pita Pizzas
Yield: 4 pita pizzas

Ingredients

• 4 pocketless pita flatbreads
• ¾ cup of marinara sauce
• 12 slices of provolone cheese (mozzarella or other cheese would work well too!)
• Pepperoni, sausage, veggies or other toppings of your choice

Instructions

1. Spread a couple tablespoons of sauce on each pita, leaving a small crust around the edge. Top with 3 slices of cheese each and any meat/veggies you like.
2. Place the pitas one at a time directly on the rack of a toaster oven. Toast for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
3. Alternately- bake at 450F on a cookie sheet for about 10 minutes, or until golden, broiling for a minute or two to get the topping extra crisp if desired.
