BREAD PIZZA

ABOUT BREAD PIZZA:

Bread Pizza is one of the quick and easy recipes to make at home using bread, cheese and vegetables for dinner or evening snack. This is a new variation on the traditional pizza because it looks similar to a pizza and has the same toppings, so there is no need to make pizza dough and wait until it is made in the traditional way. If you have bread slices, pizza sauce (or tomato sauce), your favorite toppings and cheese, it will hardly take 15-20 minutes to satisfy your pizza hunger. Follow the step-by-step recipe given below to make this delicious snack for a children's party or evening snack.

 

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 bread slices (any sandwich bread, whole wheat, brown, white, multi grain)

• 1 cup grated cheese (pizza cheese or mozzarella cheese)
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano (or mixed Italian herbs or pizza seasoning)
