Ingredients
1 Box Garlic Bread Texas Toast (8 slices)

1 Jar Pizza Sauce

Pepperoni or other pizza toppings of your choice

2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
Preparing the Garlic Bread Pizza
Preheat the Oven:

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature ensures that the garlic bread will toast perfectly while the cheese melts and the toppings heat through.

Prepare the Baking Sheet:

Take a large cookie sheet and spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray. This step helps prevent the garlic bread from sticking to the pan, making for easy cleanup and serving.

Arrange the Garlic Bread:

Open the box of Garlic Bread Texas Toast and arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared cookie sheet. Make sure there is a little space between each slice to allow for even toasting.

Add Pizza Sauce:

Take the jar of pizza sauce and spoon a small amount onto each slice of garlic bread. Spread the sauce evenly across the surface of the bread using the back of the spoon. Be generous enough to cover the bread but avoid overloading it to prevent sogginess.

Add Toppings:

Now it’s time to add your chosen toppings. Start with the pepperoni, placing a few slices on each piece of garlic bread. You can also get creative with other toppings such as mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, or cooked sausage. The choice is yours, and it’s a great opportunity to cater to different tastes and preferences.

Add the Cheese:

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over each slice of garlic bread. Make sure the toppings are well-covered with cheese to create that gooey, melty pizza effect.

Bake the Garlic Bread Pizzas:

Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 5-6 minutes, keeping an eye on the cheese. It should be melted and bubbly, and the edges of the garlic bread should be golden and crispy. If you prefer a more well-done cheese topping, you can leave it in the oven for an additional minute or two, but be careful not to burn the bread.
