Hi all I am making these Saturday for a show. I tried them for dinner tonight. They are great. I am wondering if anyone else has made these. It says to use 4 pita bread rounds and that they make 8 servings. I am not sure if it is to be 4 cut in half or if you split the pita to make 8 whole rounds. It says to cut them into quarters. That is what had me confused. It doesn't say to make 8 out of 4, but maybe I am missing something.

Thanks for the help!

4 flat pita bread rounds (without pockets)
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
1 cup (4 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablesppons snipped fresh basil leaves

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. In Small Batter Bowl, combine oil, seasoning mix, vinegar and garlic pressed with Garlic Press; mix well. Place pita rounds on Rectangle Stone. Brush one side of each pita round with oil mixture using Pastry Brush.
2. Using Ultimate Mandoline fitted with v-shaped blade, slice tomatoes. Top pita rounds evenly with tomatoes and cheese. Bake 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are lightly browned. Sprinkle with basil. Cut Pizzas into quarters using Pizza Cutter; serve warm.

If this is the recipe, then you cut each pita into 4 pcs. Each person gets 2 pcs as a serving. I hope this helps.
