Ingredients
- 8 slices Texas Toast Garlic Bread (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16–20 pepperoni slices (or your preferred toppings)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Pre-toast the Bread: Arrange the garlic bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the oven for 3-4 minutes to create a crisp base.
- Add the Sauce: Spread 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each slice, ensuring an even layer.
- Cheese Layering: Sprinkle a thin layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce to help the toppings stick.
- Add Toppings: Add pepperoni or your favorite toppings evenly over the cheese.
- Top with More Cheese: Add another layer of mozzarella for that perfect, bubbly finish.
- Bake to Perfection: Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden. For extra crispness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
