Ingredients
Scale
Toast Base
- 4 slices of bread
Toppings
- 1/2 cup of marinara sauce
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup of sliced black olives
Seasonings
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pizza toast.
- Arrange Bread Slices: Place the 4 slices of bread evenly spaced on a baking sheet to prepare for topping.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each bread slice, covering the surface.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce on each slice.
- Top with Pepperoni and Olives: Distribute sliced pepperoni and black olives evenly on top of the cheese.
- Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper over each slice for added flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza toast from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns and allow flavors to settle.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for a vegetarian option.
- Use any type of bread you prefer; thicker slices will yield a heartier toast.
- For extra crispiness, toast the bread lightly before adding toppings.
- Adjust the amount of cheese and sauce according to your taste preference.
