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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Season the tops. Sprinkle 1 tsp dried oregano and 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese over every slice.
  7. 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.
  8. Check for doneness. The pepperoni should be curled into small cups and the bread should feel firm when tapped with a spatula.
  9. 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.
  10. Serve immediately. Transfer to a platter and enjoy that signature shatter crisp texture.
