When Hubs and I were first dating, the first meal he ever cooked for me was pizza bread.
For pizza bread, he’d buy a loaf of French bread at the store, split it in half and load up the sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. And I do mean load it up! After a quick bake, pizza bread was ready to go.
After we were married, he’d still occasionally make his specialty, but in the past few years, we just haven’t. Maybe because I make my own bread now or maybe because life has just gotten busy.
Anyway, I was reminiscing about pizza bread the other day and my kids had no idea what I was talking about.
I started to describe it and decided that I’d make it the next day.
Then Spud offered a suggestion. He thought pizza bread sounded fine, but it would be even better if it was garlic toast. His brother perked right up at that suggestion and here we are today.
Because I do make my own bread now, I started with a load of homemade Italian bread and made the garlic toast myself. After that, the pizzas were just as easy to make as before - and delicious - Spud was right, the garlic toast was a great touch!
ps - pizza bread in the picture is served on paper plates because thats tradition in this house! Pizza goes on paper plates for easy pizza/movie night clean up!
