Well, then we proceed directly to the cooking process. So, pizza on pita bread. Cook in the oven.
What will be needed for the filling
This pizza will be cooked on thin pita bread. As a basis, we need three rectangular sheets of it. It is also necessary to stock up on a couple of tomatoes, minced meat (any), hard cheese (one hundred grams of any grade will be enough), mayonnaise, tomato sauce, several cloves of garlic, onion and mushrooms. The last ingredient is at the discretion of the hostess. You can take boiled, and pickled.
How to cook
Mushrooms cut arbitrarily. Fry the minced meat in a pan for 5-10 minutes, then add grated tomatoes without skin into it. Flavor all this with your favorite seasonings and hold on the fire for another five minutes.
It is desirable to cover the baking sheet with paper, then place the first sheet of pita bread on it. Make a mayonnaise net on it and sprinkle with grated cheese. Put a second sheet on it and repeat the previous manipulations again. Above is the third sheet. We spread pita bread with mayonnaise and pour cheese over so that the layers stick together during the preparation process. On the last sheet, pre-greased with sauce, spread the minced meat, then the mushrooms, spread the onion half rings, make a mayonnaise net and sprinkle with cheese generously. Sent for ten minutes in an already hot oven (its temperature should be 220 degrees). Lazy pizza is ready!
Cook in a pan
If your pita bread is rectangular, then you need to cut it in a circle in accordance with the shape of the pan. Then put the first tortilla on a dry frying pan, grease it with tomato paste and sprinkle it with plenty of cheese. Cover with a second piece of pita bread. Fry until you see that the cheese has begun to melt. After that, turn the base over. Lubricate it with pasta and cover it with grated cheese. Then spread the filling on top. What will it be - you choose. For example, you can cover pita bread with slices of salami. Or ham with mushrooms. Or even just cut the sausages if nothing else is at hand. And then send the pan to the oven. Just for five minutes. And a very lazy pizza on pita bread is ready.
And now we turn to cooking in a microwave oven.
How to cook pizza on pita bread in the microwave
We take a plate of pita bread and cut it to the size of the plate included in the microwave oven. We put the resulting circle on the dishes, grease with ketchup. We take finely chopped pieces of any meat (smoked or boiled chicken, fried pork, for example) and evenly spread on the basis. Then we distribute slices of tomatoes on the future pizza. You can sprinkle everything with sweet corn, put finely chopped olives. Then you need to make a net of mayonnaise and sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Microwave pizza for a few minutes. Set the maximum power.
Vegetarian pizza
And finally - a recipe for those who do not like or for some other reason do not eat meat, smoked meats and other goodies. The vegetarian option is perfect for those who are on a diet. True, it is better to take for him a thick pita bread, which is prepared on yeast, but if you are really afraid of these terrible calories, then you can take a thin one. Lubricate the base with tomato paste, then spread thin slices of radish, cucumber, onion, bell pepper and tomatoes on it. We add the filling, sprinkle with your favorite greens and send for two minutes in the microwave. We expose the full power.
