Scale
Base
- 4 slices of bread
Sauce
- 1/2 cup of marinara sauce
Toppings
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup of sliced black olives
Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pizza toast.
- Prepare Bread: Arrange the 4 slices of bread evenly on a baking sheet to create a stable base for your toppings.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly spread about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage for flavor.
- Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce on each bread slice.
- Top with Pepperoni and Olives: Place the sliced pepperoni and black olives evenly on top of the cheese on each slice.
- Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste over the toppings to add depth of flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts fully and is bubbly and golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pizza toast to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Use any bread of your choice; thicker slices will yield a heartier toast.
- You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for variety.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the pepperoni and add more vegetables or extra cheese.
- Keep an eye on the toast while baking to prevent burning, as oven temperatures vary.
- Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
