Lazy Girl Garlic Bread Pizza Recipe (Ready in under 20 minutes, seriously!):
Yields: Varies depending on the size of your garlic bread Prep time: 5 minutes (mostly just grabbing and spreading!) Cook time: 10-15 minutes
Ingredients (Use what you’ve got! This is a super basic guide):
- 1 package (or loaf) of your favorite garlic bread
- ½ – ¾ cup pizza sauce
- 1 – 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite pizza cheese)
- Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni slices, cooked sausage)
- Optional lazy boosters: A sprinkle of dried oregano or red pepper flakes
Equipment:
- Baking sheet
Instructions (Seriously, this is almost too easy!):
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the Garlic Bread: Place your garlic bread on a baking sheet. If using a whole loaf or large pieces, you might want to slice it into individual serving sizes now.
- Sauce It Up!: Spread your pizza sauce evenly over the top of the garlic bread. Don’t go too crazy with the sauce, you want the garlic bread flavor to still shine through.
- Cheese Shower!: Sprinkle your shredded cheese generously over the sauce. Make sure to cover most of the sauced area for maximum cheesy goodness.
- Top It Off (Lazy Style!): Scatter your favorite pizza toppings over the cheese. Keep it simple with pepperoni or cooked sausage, or get a little adventurous with those canned olives or mushrooms if they’re calling your name.
- Bake It ‘Til It’s Bussin’!: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and the edges of the garlic bread are nice and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
- Serve & Devour (The Ultimate Lazy Pizza Victory!): Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let it cool for a minute or two (if you can wait that long!) and then slice (if needed) and enjoy your ridiculously easy Garlic Bread Pizza! You just turned a side dish into a main event! 🎉
