For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes before baking.
Use fresh garlic toast if you prefer a softer base, adjusting baking time accordingly.
Try different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for a unique twist.
Make it vegetarian by loading up on colorful veggies instead of meat toppings.

Storage

Store leftover mini garlic toast pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes to maintain crispness, or warm gently in a microwave.

How to Serve

The image shows three slices of toasted bread each topped with pizza ingredients on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The closest slice has a base layer of red tomato sauce spread evenly, followed by a layer of melted white mozzarella cheese with a slightly golden brown tinge, and three round, shiny pepperoni slices arranged in a triangular shape on top. The middle slice features tomato sauce under an even layer of melted mozzarella cheese that stretches slightly over the edges of the bread. The slice at the back has visible tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese with three pepperoni slices spaced apart, sitting on top of a thick layer of toasted bread with a light golden crust sprinkled with herbs. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular bread instead of garlic toast?

Yes, regular bread works fine, but you might want to add a brush of garlic butter or olive oil to mimic the garlic toast flavor.

How do I prevent the toppings from making the toast soggy?

Use a light layer of pizza sauce and avoid overly watery toppings. Baking on a wire rack can also help keep the base crisp.
