Bread pizza | How to make bread pizza

By swasthi , on August 8, 2020, 20 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Bread pizza recipe with stove-top & oven instructions. Bread pizza is a quick Snack recipe made with whole grain bread, tomato pizza sauce, cheese and veggies. This makes a great snack for kids’ parties and most of them will love this. To make it taste very close to the regular real pizza, use a good pizza sauce and choose the toppings that are generally used to make a pizza.

However nothing can replace the taste of a yeast dough pizza base, but this may be a simple alternate when you crave for a pizza.

Bread pizza can be made in a oven or on a stovetop. There is not much difference between the 2 methods. Mozzarella cheese, four cheese, cheddar cheese, feta cheese or pizza cheese can be used for the topping. This time I have used mozzarella. Sometimes I also use a combination of feta cheese & mozzarella.

I have also used sliced olives here. If you do not have, just skip them. In this post I have used homemade pizza sauce (link in recipe card). If you do not have it then you may replace with any tomato sauce or even a good pesto.

You can also make a bread pizza sandwich with the same recipe. Just skip toasting the bread, apply the pizza sauce and then top with your favorite ingredients and grill it in a sandwich toaster.

Making sauce for bread pizza

1.Skip this section if you have already have the sauce. Pour 1 tablespoon oil to a pot or pan and heat it. Add 2 to 3 chopped garlic and saute for 30 to 60 seconds until aromatic. If using onions (optional), add 1 small chopped onion and saute until golden. Next stir in ¼ to ½ teaspoon red chilli flakes.

2. Saute for 20 seconds.

4. Stir ¼ teaspoon salt & 1 teaspoon sugar.

5. Cover the pot partially. Cook on a medium flame until most of the moisture in tomatoes evaporates and turns thick.

To make bread pizza in oven

If making in oven prepare a baking tray with a parchment paper or foil. Preheat the oven to 430 F or 220 C for 15 mins. Place the bread slices in the tray.

Spread pizza sauce as much as you desire. Place the veggies of your choice and then layer the cheese. Sprinkle herbs. Keep the tray in a preheated oven in the middle rack. Bake/ grill for 8 mins at 430 F or 220 C.

Adjust the grill time as needed. The veggies get grilled partially and the cheese melts and turns golden. Serve bread pizza hot as a snack or breakfast.

Make bread pizza on tawa

1. Grease a pan lightly with few drops of oil if making on your stovetop.

2. Toast the bread slices on one side slightly. This is optional but prevents the bread from turning soggy.

3. Flip them to the other side. Turn off the stove and remove them to a tray or board. If you leave them on the pan, they will begin to toast now.

4. Smear pizza sauce as desired. You can also use ketchup, pesto or any of your favorite sauce. Layer onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and olives as desired.

5. Next spread grated cheese as much as you like. You can use mozzarella cheese or a combination of any 2 or more.

6. Sprinkle herbs and red chili flakes as desired. Place them on the pan.

8. Make sure you don’t burn the bread at the bottom. Remove it when the cheese melts.

Serve bread pizza hot as a snack. Any soup or pasta also goes well, if serving this for a meal. Here are some variations I make to these bread pizza

Variations

  1. You can also make a spinach bread pizza. On a medium high flame saute some fine chopped spinach in 1 tsp oil until it wilts. Spread the pizza sauce over the bread and then layer the spinach, followed by cheese.
  2. You can also make a egg bread pizza. Just stir in an egg with grated cheese and spread it over the bread.
  3. Grill or fry some chicken until cooked through and place them over the bread. Then layer the cheese.
  4. Instead of pizza sauce you can also spread pesto.
