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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the Sauce: Spread 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each slice, ensuring an even layer.
  4. Cheese Layering: Sprinkle a thin layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce to help the toppings stick.
  5. Add Toppings: Add pepperoni or your favorite toppings evenly over the cheese.
  6. Top with More Cheese: Add another layer of mozzarella for that perfect, bubbly finish.
  7. 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.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
