3/4 pound lean ground lamb
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
4 6-inch pita bread rounds
Olive oil
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
6 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Position rack in center of oven. Place baking sheet on rack. Preheat oven to 400°F. for 30 minutes.

2 pitas
1 c hummus
1 c black olives
1 c feta cheese
1 c mozzarella cheese

Steps:

1. divide the hummus and spread on each pita

3. bake on 350 degrees for 10-12 mins...until cheese is melted

Tips:

For a crispier crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pita pizzas.
If you don't have pita bread, you can use naan bread, flatbread, or even tortillas as a base for your pizza.
Be creative with your toppings! You can use any combination of vegetables, meats, cheeses, and sauces that you like.
Don't overload the pita pizzas with toppings, or they will become soggy.
If you're using fresh vegetables, be sure to dry them thoroughly before adding them to the pizza, or they will release water and make the crust soggy.
Bake the pita pizzas until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Mediterranean pita pizzas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover ingredients, and they can be customized to suit your own tastes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Mediterranean pita pizzas a try!
