Cheesy Bread Pizzas


When I was a kid, my mother used to make us these
DELICIOUS bread pizzas for lunch.

We LOVED them!

I made them for my kids and they loved them, too!

They're fun and QUICK to make, so I thought I'd share
this recipe for busy moms...and anybody who wants a quick, yummy lunch.

This is all you will need:

Any kind of bread
a jar of pre-made spaghetti sauce
dried oregano leaves
sliced mozzarella cheese


Set a large frying pan on med/high heat.

While the pan is heating,
Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece of bread.
Flatten it well.


Make two pizzas at a time.
Place flattened bread in the heated pan.


Spray a pancake turner lightly with Pam cooking spray.


When bread is browned, flip over.


Add a large spoonful of spaghetti sauce to the browned side.


Sprinkle with dried oregano leaves.


Add a slice of mozzarella cheese on top.


Now, for the fun and kind of tricky part.

Flip the pizzas over...cheese side down.


It doesn't take long for the cheese to melt.

With the oiled pancake turner, scoop up the pizza...
making sure to capture all the cheese,
and flip onto a plate.


It's hot, so cool it a bit before younger kids dig in.
They will beg you to make this for them...
and you won't mind because it's so quick
EASY!

The "crust" is nice and crispy like real pizza.
