Texas Toast Garlic Bread Pizza (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Pizza

01 - 8 slices of Texas Toast Garlic Bread
02 - 1 cup pizza sauce
03 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (optional)
05 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
06 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
07 - Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven according to the Texas toast package instructions, typically around 425°F (220°C).
02 - Arrange Texas toast slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake according to package directions until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy later.
03 - Remove toast from oven and spread 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each slice, leaving a small border around the edges to create a crust-like appearance.
04 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over each slice. Add pepperoni or other desired toppings. Season with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes if using.
05 - Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, and edges are golden brown and crispy.
06 - Add fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

# Notes:

01 - Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions
