Star Players in This Texas Toast Garlic Bread Pizza
- Frozen Texas Toast garlic bread – Bold, buttery, and the perfect crispy base that holds its own under layers of cheesy toppings.
- Pizza sauce – Rich, herby, and tangy, it brings classic pizza flavor in just a swipe.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese – Melts like a dream and delivers that irresistible stretchy, gooey cheese pull.
- Pepperoni or favorite toppings – Adds a punch of savory goodness and can be customized to suit every craving.
Quick & Easy: How to Make Texas Toast Garlic Bread Pizza
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and laying out your frozen Texas Toast slices on a greased baking sheet.
Spoon a layer of pizza sauce over each slice, then load them up with shredded mozzarella and your go-to toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, or jalapeños.
Bake for 5 to 6 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Air Fryer Option: Preheat to 350°F, cook plain toast slices for 5 minutes, then top with sauce, cheese, and toppings. Air fry an additional 2–3 minutes until melty and crisp.
Tips & Toppings: Your Pizza, Your Rules
Want a crispier base? Bake the garlic toast for a minute or two before adding toppings.
For added flavor, sprinkle on crushed red pepper, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning just before serving.
Try swapping pepperoni for cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, or sliced olives. Even pineapple works if you’re in the sweet-and-savory camp.
Vegetarian? Skip the meats entirely and pile on roasted veggies and fresh basil for a garden-fresh version.
Storing the Leftovers (If You Have Any!)
If you somehow end up with leftovers, let them cool completely before storing. Stack slices between parchment paper in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
To reheat, use the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness—avoid the microwave if you want to preserve that crunchy toast base.
Freeze fully assembled and baked slices in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat from frozen at 375°F until hot and bubbly.
