Pizza and a Movie

Tomorrow is Friday night. Grab a pizza, movie (Redbox is a great bargain, or try your local library, they usually have great selections too!), some rootbeer, and the family and enjoy a movie night. I am all about setting up a picnic blanket on the floor and enjoying an indoor picnic while watching the movie.

If you prefer to make your own pizza then try making pita pizzas. You can have each person in the family help make their own so they are individualized, plus the kids love helping to cook, and are all the more excited to eat something that they helped make.

What You Need

1 package Pita Bread (go for the whole wheat!)
1 jar pizza sauce
1 package pizza blend cheese
Your family's favorite toppings

Directions

You will want to pre-bake the pitas to help crisp them up, otherwise the bread will be really flimsy and hard to handle. Set the oven to 400 degrees and prebake for 3-5 minutes. Remove Pitas from oven and top with sauce, cheese, and desired toppings. Return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and enjoy!

You can also very this recipe with other crusts ie: bagels, biscuits, english muffins, sandwich wraps, ect. (for more solid crusts like bagels, muffins, and biscuits, they will not need to precook)
