Soft Bread Pepperoni Pizza

Simple and Delicious Brunch

Woke up late on a Saturday morning, and the first thing I felt was a craving for something simple yet satisfying. Weekends are meant for relaxing, and the last thing I wanted was a complicated recipe. I needed a brunch that was quick, easy, and didn’t require me to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

Luckily, I found some milk bread, tomato sauce, pepperoni, and cheese in the fridge. I figured this could work, so I decided to make a quick pizza toast! Actually, my boyfriend made it, but we both loved it. The entire thing came together in less than 10 minutes, including baking time! It was incredibly easy, and honestly, just the kind of lazy weekend meal you need. The cheese was bubbly, the sauce was savory, and the pepperoni added the perfect amount of richness.

I was able to satisfy my cravings without much effort, and I got to enjoy something warm and comforting. If you’re ever in the mood for something similar, this is the way to go! Plus, it’s a fun, customizable dish that you can make based on what you have at home - no need to rush out to the store for fancy ingredients!

Ingredients

• 2 slices of bread (milk bread works best, but any bread you like can be used!)
• Tomato sauce (If you don’t have pizza sauce, ketchup works in a pinch!)
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded or sliced, depending on your preference)
• Pepperoni (optional, but feel free to use any toppings you love! Sausages, mushrooms, veggies, etc.)

How to Make It

1. Prepare the bread:
   Start by placing your bread on a baking tray or a flat oven-safe dish. I used some thick slices of soft milk bread because it makes the toast extra fluffy and delicious.

Spread a generous amount of tomato sauce over each slice. Make sure the bread is covered, but don’t overdo it - just a nice even layer works best. If you don’t have pizza sauce on hand, ketchup works just fine.

It gives a slightly tangy flavor that still complements the other toppings.

2. Add the cheese:
   Next, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

I prefer shredded mozzarella because it melts beautifully and gets nice and gooey. If you’re feeling fancy, you can mix in a little bit of cheddar or parmesan to add an extra depth of flavor. The cheese is going to melt and bubble up, creating that beautiful golden-brown top.

3. Add your toppings:
   After the cheese, it’s time to add toppings! For this version, I used pepperoni because it’s a classic, and who doesn’t love that crispy edge on a slice of pepperoni? But if you don’t have pepperoni, don’t worry. You can get creative here - throw on some mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions for a vegetarian option. Cooked sausage is another great alternative. Honestly, whatever you love on your pizza will work on your toast!

4. Bake to perfection:
   Preheat your oven to about 400°F (200°C). Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden. If you like your cheese a little more crispy, you can leave it in for an extra couple of minutes. You want the cheese to be bubbly and slightly browned, and the bread should be toasted but not too hard.

And that’s it! Super quick, super easy, and super delicious. It was so satisfying to have a warm, cheesy meal ready in just 10 minutes.

Tips

• Use fresh ingredients: If you have access to fresh mozzarella, that can take your pizza toast to the next level. The creaminess of fresh mozzarella will melt perfectly and give your toast that authentic pizza feel.

• Season it up: Don’t forget to season your sauce with a pinch of salt, pepper, and maybe some dried herbs like oregano, basil, or Italian seasoning to give it an extra layer of flavor.

• Experiment with toppings: The beauty of pizza toast is that you can customize it however you want. Add some fresh basil on top once it comes out of the oven, or drizzle it with olive oil for a touch of richness.

• Pair with a drink: A nice, cold glass of milk or a light fruit juice can complement the toast perfectly. If you want something a bit more indulgent, a latte or iced coffee also goes great with this dish.

Why This is the Perfect Lazy Weekend Meal

This pizza toast is a great example of how a little creativity can turn simple ingredients into something truly satisfying. It’s perfect for those weekends when you wake up late, don’t feel like doing much, but still want something delicious and comforting.

Also, if you have kids, this is a fantastic recipe to make together. They can help spread the sauce, sprinkle the cheese, and pick their own toppings — making it a fun family activity while getting a tasty meal.

In under 10 minutes, you’ve got a meal that tastes like it’s straight out of a pizza parlor, but without the hassle or the cost. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s guaranteed to hit the spot.
