Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices French bread (or Italian bread) stale and cut into ½” thick slices.
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Brought to room temperature
  • ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese Finely grated
  • ⅔ cup Pizza Sauce
  • 1 oz Your toppings of choice Amount may vary depending on what toppings you choose.
  • 1 tsp Basil Chiffonade cut (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Put a dab of butter in each corner of the cookie sheet before laying the parchment down. It will keep the paper in place. You can also use tinfoil if you don’t have parchment paper.
  • After your parchment paper is in place, spread half the butter equally over one side of the slices. Set the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Lightly press each piece of bread into the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (reserve about 1 tablespoon for later). Turn the pieces over so the cheese side is down on the cookie sheet.
  • Spread the second half of the butter equally over the other side of the slices.
  • Top your slices with your pizza sauce of choice (on top of the butter); we used our Best Authentic Neapolitan Pizza Sauce Recipe.
  • Bake the slices before topping the bread with cheese or toppings for 10 minutes. (It will only have butter and sauce on the top side).
  • Take the bread out and top it with the reserved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, your toppings of choice, and the Mozzarella.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and the bottom crust is crispy and browned, 10 to 12 minutes more.
  • Remove pizzas from the oven.
  • Let sit 3-5 minutes before eating.
  • Top with basil that has been washed, dried, and cut chiffonade style (optional).

Notes

The amount and nutrition value of your toppings will vary based on which toppings you choose.
