Garlic Bread Pizzas

Yield: 12 pizzas
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes

You can use individual garlic bread pieces, like I did here. Or you can use a frozen loaf of garlic bread. If you're going with the loaf option, simply put all of the toppings on and bake for approximately 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 package frozen garlic bread slices
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1 cup desired toppings (I used pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, and green peppers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Place garlic bread slices on a large baking sheet. Top each slice with a scant tablespoon of pizza sauce, cheese, and desired toppings.
  2. Bake pizzas for 12 to 15 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
