Pita bread recipes?

I like to make this as a snack:





I take some pita bread and cut it into bite sized bits. I then toss it into a small bit of olive oil and whatever spices I am in the mood for. Ones that I frequently use are rosemary, thyme, garlic powder and oregano. Once the little pita pieces are properly coated, I spread them out evenly on a cookie sheet and bake it in the oven till the pieces are golden brown and crispy. Then I enjoy them the same way you would a cracker or chips.Pita bread recipes?
Our family LOVES to make pita pizzas. I just get the pitas, a can of pizza or spaghetti sauce, cheese, basil, oregano and whatever toppings we each like and pile them on. Bake in the oven at 350 for about 20 mins or until cheese starts turning tiny bit brown, cut in 4 pieces and eat! These work great for us because I'm vegetarian, my husband isn't, and we have a 15 year old who is very picky, so they are just the right size for us each to have our own with what we want.Pita bread recipes?
