Ingredients

4 slices of thick-cut sourdough bread

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup sliced pepperoni

¼ cup black olives, sliced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Brush both sides of each slice of sourdough bread with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Toast the sourdough in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through until lightly golden.

Remove the bread from the oven and spread a generous layer of marinara sauce on each toast.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each slice.

Arrange pepperoni slices and black olives on top of the cheese.

Season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then top with an extra handful of mozzarella if desired for extra cheesiness.

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you like a spicy kick.

Slice the toasts in halves or quarters for easy serving and enjoy your delicious pizza toasts!
