Ingredients
Scale
For the Texas Toast Pizza
- 8 slices Texas toast
- 4 ounces pizza sauce
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24 slices pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Toast the Bread: Arrange the Texas toast slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 2 minutes on one side, then carefully flip each slice and bake for an additional 2 minutes to lightly toast both sides.
- Add Sauce: Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce evenly over the top of each toast slice, creating the base for your pizza toppings.
- Top with Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced bread, then top each slice with three pepperoni slices, distributing them evenly.
- Bake to Melt: Return the assembled Texas toast pizzas to the oven and bake for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbly. Remove from oven, serve warm, and enjoy your quick and tasty Texas toast pizzas!
Notes
- You can customize toppings by adding vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for variety.
- For a crisper crust, bake the toast slices a little longer before adding toppings.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella for best melting results.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
