Fun with Pita Pizza – Mushroom Pita Pizza
15-minute cheater’s mushroom pizza: 5 mins to prepare, 10 minutes to bake
This is another one of my 15-minute “fast food” meal. I like to buy a box of assorted mushrooms and whenever I have leftovers, I use it for topping this mini pizza. Using the shortcut method of using pita bread as pizza crust, this personal size pizza can be whipped up in 15 minutes: 5 minutes to prepare & assemble, and 10 minutes to bake. For more information about pita pizzas, check out my detailed write-up here.
Experiment with (undiluted) cream of mushroom sauce as the base for the pizza – quite nice!
Ingredients
(makes 1 pita pizza)– 1 pita bread
– pizza or tomato-based pasta sauce or (undiluted) cream of mushroom sauce
– assorted mushrooms, sliced or diced
– baby spinach leaves (western type), torn to smaller pieces
– shredded mozzarella cheeseDirections
(for step by step photos on how to assemble this pizza, refer to this post)1. Place a piece of pita bread on a flat oven-safe tray.
2. Spread some pizza sauce (you can also use tomato-based pasta sauce or cream of mushroom sauce) evenly over the pita bread using the back of a spoon.
3. Arrange mushrooms evenly all over the pita bread, followed by a layer of cheese, followed by a bit of mushrooms and spinach leaves for garnishing.
4. Bake in preheated oven of 200C (392F) for roughly 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Serve with tobasco sauce and grated parmesan cheese if you like.
Fancy more 15-minute pita pizza ideas?
Mmm, mushrooms are my absolute favorite pizza topping. I usually use just button mushrooms though. I think I should start branching out!
I love button mushrooms toppings too!
Quick and delicious pita pizza!
Very nice recipe!!!
Mushroom pizza is my favorite! Looks great!
My tummy is grumbling for dinner and now it wants one of these mouth-watering pizzas! :o You have such good ideas – the soup as the base – that’s genius.
Thanks Reeni! The sauce is actually leftover from my baked rice :)

Tortillas will be really thin and crispy … I think it will be really nice! creamy corn sounds good as well :)
