Ingredients

8 slices frozen Texas Toast garlic bread Thick-cut style
½ cup pizza sauce Thick marinara works best
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly grated melts best
24 slices pepperoni Regular or mini size
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning Or dried oregano
red pepper flakes Optional, for garnish

Equipment

1 Baking sheet Large rimmed sheet
1 Parchment paper For easy cleanup
1 Cheese grater For best melting cheese
1 Spatula To remove hot pizza

Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the frozen Texas toast slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake the plain bread for 5 minutes just until it begins to thaw and firm up on the surface.
Remove from oven and spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each slice, leaving a small border.
Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese and arrange 3-4 pepperoni slices on each piece.
Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes and serve immediately while hot.
