Ingredients:
- 8 slices frozen garlic toast (approx. 320g)
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce (approx. 125g)
- 1.5 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (approx. 170g)
- 0.5 cup mini pepperoni (approx. 60g)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese (approx. 25g)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set your rack to the middle position and heat to 400°F. Note: This high temp is necessary to crisp the bread before the sauce can soften it.
- Arrange the toast. Place 8 slices frozen garlic toast on a parchment lined baking sheet. Wait until the oven is fully preheated before taking the toast out of the freezer.
- Apply the sauce. Spread 0.5 cup pizza sauce evenly across the slices. Note: Leave a small border around the edges to prevent sauce from burning on the pan.
- Add the cheese. Distribute 1.5 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Ensure the cheese reaches the edges to create a crispy frico crust.
- Layer the pepperoni. Top with 0.5 cup mini pepperoni. Note: Press them slightly into the cheese so they don't blow around if using a convection oven.
- Season the tops. Sprinkle 1 tsp dried oregano and 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese over every slice.
- Bake the pizzas. Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
- Check for doneness. The pepperoni should be curled into small cups and the bread should feel firm when tapped with a spatula.
- Rest the pizzas. Let them sit for 2 minutes on the pan. This allows the sauce to set and prevents the cheese from sliding off during the first bite.
- Serve immediately. Transfer to a platter and enjoy that signature shatter crisp texture.
