When you’re craving pizza but for some reason can’t or don’t want to order or go to the restaurant, then why don’t you just go and make them at home? If you have some leftover bread, then that’s even better because you can use it for your quick homemade pizza!

This bread-and-butter pizza version is so good and addicting that you might even prefer it over regular pizzas, you can top it with whatever toppings you like, and make it as cheesy as you want. Watch this video tutorial by Food Wishes on YouTube to learn how.

Ingredients for Bread & Butter Pizza:

6 slices of stale French or Italian bread, ½-inch thick
6 tbsp of unsalted butter, softened
½ cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
2/3 cup of pizza sauce, or as needed
6 ounces of mozzarella cheese, diced
18 slices of pepperoni

How to Make Bread & Butter Pizza:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside. Spread a generous amount of softened butter on both sides of each slice of bread, then place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, and space them evenly.

Step 2

Grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over each slice of bread, then press them lightly onto the butter so the cheese sticks better, and turn them over so that the cheese side is down.

Step 3

Top each bread with pizza sauce evenly, then place them in the preheated oven, and bake them for about 10 to 12 minutes or until they start to turn golden brown.

Step 4

Top them with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices or more toppings of your choice, then put them back in the fridge, and let them bake for another 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bottom is crispy and nicely brown.
