Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on your garlic bread package, usually around 400°F (200°C).

  2. Top the sauce with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle your chosen toppings.
Cooking
  1. Put the prepared garlic toast pizzas on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. If desired, sprinkle with fresh basil or Italian seasoning.
Serving
  1. Cut into slices and serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to customize the cheese and toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes for the best texture.
