Ingredients:
- 2 boxes of frozen garlic bread (or homemade, if preferred)
- Marinara sauce (about 1-1.5 cups total)
- 2-3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni slices (about 1-2 cups, depending on preference)
- Optional toppings: chopped vegetables, cooked sausage, or olives
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven according to the package directions for the garlic bread, typically around 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Garlic Bread:
- Arrange the frozen garlic bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure to leave space between each piece for even cooking.
- Add Marinara Sauce:
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on each slice of garlic bread, using the back of a spoon to evenly distribute it.
- Top with Cheese:
- Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce on each slice, covering it well.
- Add Pepperoni:
- Place pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Feel free to add any additional toppings you like at this stage.
- Adjust Cooking Time:
- Since you’re adding sauce and cheese, you’ll need to adjust the cooking time. Check the box instructions for the original baking time and add an extra 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent sogginess.
- Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, usually about 15-20 minutes. If the edges of the garlic bread start to brown too much, you can cover them with foil.
- Cool and Serve:
- Once done, remove from the oven and let the garlic bread pizzas cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve warm.
