Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Pita Bread
Place the pita bread on a baking sheet, and ensure it is flat and even.
Step 3: Cook the Bacon
In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
Step 4: Chop the Toppings
Dice the tomatoes and chop the fresh basil. Set aside for later use.
Step 5: Assemble the Pizza
Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the pita bread, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Add the cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, and chopped basil on top of the cheese.
Step 6: Bake the Pizza
Place the assembled pita pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Serve the Pizza
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly, then slice and serve immediately.
