Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each pita bread.

Step 8

If desired, add fresh basil leaves on top for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
