Garlic-Parm Pizza Disks

Ingredients

• 8 slices White bread (Standard sandwich bread; enough for 4 disks)
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese (Shredded)
• 0.25 cup Pizza sauce (Or tomato sauce)
• 12 slices Pepperoni
• 4 tbsp Butter (Melted)
• 1 tbsp Chopped garlic
• 1 tsp Fresh parsley (Chopped)
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (Grated)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   Lay out slices of bread and place a portion of mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and pepperoni slices onto the center of half the bread slices.

3. 3

   Place another slice of bread on top of each prepared slice to create a sandwich.

4. 4

   Using a large round cookie cutter, a bowl, or a cup, press down firmly over the center of the sandwich to cut out a circular disk and seal the edges of the bread together.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, combine the 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic, and chopped parsley. Whisk until well combined.

6. 6

   Place the pizza disks on a baking sheet and paint the garlic butter mixture generously over the top of each disk using a pastry brush.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the tops with grated parmesan cheese.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 15 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Save the leftover bread crusts to make homemade breadcrumbs or croutons. This recipe is highly customizable; you can swap pepperoni for mushrooms, peppers, or any of your favorite pizza toppings.
