Ingredients

• ·         1 Pane Di Casa Vienna or Sourdough loaf of bread, unsliced
• ·         2/3 cup butter melted
• ·         4 cloves garlic crushed (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
• ·         1/3 cup pizza sauce
• ·         1/4 red onion finely chopped
• ·         1 large ripe tomato, finely chopped
• ·         3-1/2 ounces | 100 grams mini pepperoni slices
• ·         Fresh basil leaves finely shredded
• ·         3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ·         1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or Italian seasoning

Instructions

Step 1

Set the oven to 176°C or 350°F.

Combine the melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl. Blend thoroughly. Place aside

Step 2

The loaf of bread should be placed on a cutting board. Cut the bread diagonally in rows across the top, down to 1 inch (2 cm) above the base in depth, using a sharp bread knife. (Take care not to cut all the way through to the loaf's base.) Cut through the bread in rows in the opposite way, holding it firmly and gently over the top, to produce wedges that are diamond-shaped.

Step 3 

Transfer to a baking sheet or pan that has been coated with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Drizzle half of the garlic butter in between each wedge, followed by the pizza sauce. (It doesn't need to be neat!)

Step 4

Then add the cheese, basil, tomatoes, onions, and pepperoni slices.

Sprinkle the Italian herbs on top of the toast after drizzling it with the remaining garlic butter (or seasoning).

Step 5 

Cover with foil and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until cheese has started to melted.

Remove the lid and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the bread is crispy.

Before serving, remove and let the food somewhat cool.
