Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pizza toast.
Prepare Bread: Arrange the 4 slices of bread in a single layer on a baking sheet for even cooking.
Spread Sauce: Evenly spread about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over each bread slice to form the flavorful base.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce on each slice.
Add Toppings: Distribute 1/4 cup of sliced pepperoni and 1/4 cup of sliced black olives evenly on top of the cheese.
Season: Lightly sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste over the toppings for enhanced flavor.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza toast from the oven, let cool slightly to avoid burns, then serve warm.

Notes

You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage.
For a crispier base, toast the bread lightly before adding toppings.
Use fresh herbs if available for a more vibrant flavor instead of dried oregano and garlic powder.
Adjust the amount of salt and pepper based on your preference.
Leftover pizza toast can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
