Instructions
Cooking Pizza Toast: The Process
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even baking and golden color.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup or grease it if you don’t have parchment paper.
- Spread about a tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each slice of sandwich bread, covering the entire surface.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each slice.
- Distribute the mini pepperonis evenly on top of the cheese. Add extra toppings if desired.
- Bake the assembled pizza toast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread edges are crisp.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped basil if desired, slice into squares, and serve hot.
Notes
- Toast the bread lightly before assembling for extra crispiness.
- Try different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for varied flavor.
- Use fresh basil for the best garnish and flavor enhancement.
- Gluten-free bread works well for dietary restrictions.
- Leftover pizza toast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
