The Ultimate Pizza Toast Recipe! 🍕
Hey there, fellow food enthusiasts! Today I'm sharing my FAVORITE quick-fix meal that combines two of the most incredible things ever: pizza and toast! This recipe was born during my college days and has since become my go-to comfort food that never disappoints!
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices sourdough bread
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8-12 slices pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
- Red pepper flakes optional, but recommended for that extra kick!
Instructions
- First things first - crank that oven up to 400°F (200°C). Trust me, this temperature is our sweet spot for perfect crispiness!
- Here's my secret weapon step: Brush both sides of your bread slices with olive oil. This is what gives us that gorgeous golden crunch!
- Pop those slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and give them a quick pre-toast in the oven for about 5 minutes. (Pro tip: This prevents the dreaded soggy bottom!)
- Time for the fun part! Pull out your toast and let's build our pizza masterpieces:
- Spread each slice with pizza sauce (don't be shy!)
- Sprinkle with garlic powder (my secret ingredient!)
- Rain down that cheese like you mean it
- Add your pepperoni in whatever pattern makes you happy
- Back into the oven they go for 8-10 minutes. Watch for that moment when the cheese gets all bubbly and starts to get those gorgeous golden spots - that's pizza toast perfection!
