Ingredients

4 rounds whole wheat pita bread
2 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or less if you don't like spice
1 ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 slices prosciutto, fat trimmed
1 cup arugula leaves
2 tablespoon honey or less, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line two large baking sheets or pizza pans with foil.
Combine olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl. Brush over the top of each pita.
Divide cheese on top of each pita bread. Chop up prosciutto slices and add one slice to the top of each pita.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese has melted and the bottom is crispy. Remove from the oven.
Sprinkle arugula leaves on top of the pizza and drizzle with honey, to to taste.

Notes

For a crispier crust, use a pizza pan or baking sheet with perforations and no foil.
- Bake at 425 or 450 instead. Keep an eye on it though!
"Toast" the pizza in your toaster oven. Keep an eye on the cheese though!
Grill the pizza instead. Brush olive oil on both sides of the pita bread and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. Then add the cheese and toppings and continue to grill until the cheese melts.
