Yogurt Garlic Sauce Pita Pizza

This sauce is inspired by the Toum Garlic Sauce that primarily uses oil. I used yogurt to make it a little more healthy and filling.

Ingredients:
1 Pita
Shredded Mexican Cheese
Italian Seasonings
Pickle (optional)

Garlic Sauce:
2 cups full fat yogurt (or you can use greek yogurt )
1 cup olive oil
2 to 3 garlic cloves, crushed and made into a paste
Little lemon juice
Salt/Black pepper

This sauce needs some preparation ahead of time. Put the yogurt in a muslin cloth and let the yogurt hang so that all the water comes out. You want the sauce to be thick but also not so thick that you cannot beat it. Leave it hung atleast for 4 hours.

Now take the yogurt out in a bowl. Add the garlic and mix well. Now add olive oil to the yogurt in a slow stream as you constantly beat the yogurt in circles to mix.  Continue until the entire olive oil is emulsified slowly into the yogurt. Add salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice.

Now you are ready to build the pizza. Heat the pita with some butter on a pan until soft.  Preheat oven to 400F. Toast the pita so that its a somewhat crispy.  Take out, smother the garlic sauce on the pita. Add shredded cheese on it. Sprinkle Italian Seasonings. And toast again until crispy.  Your delicious Pita Pizza is ready.

Note: Save the extra sauce as a dip for chips or kabobs!
