Recently, I started getting bored of my school lunches. Each day was the same- a Peanut Butter sandwich or pasta. So, I had an idea to switch things up a little. I grabbed some tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni, but there was one thing missing: dough. While I searched everywhere for some pizza dough, there was none to be found. I had the idea of making my own pizza dough, but it was 9 o’clock at night and that would take way too long. So instead, I had the bright idea to use toast. 

Ingredients:

Tomato sauce

Cheese (mozzarella works best)

Bread slices

1 tablespoon butter

Basil or parsley (optional)

Toppings (optional)

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a bowl with parsley until it turns into liquid. 
2. Spread the butter over the bread slices and toast bread in a toaster or oven until it’s brown on the top. 
3. Remove the bread from the toaster and put tomato sauce, cheese, and any toppings on the pizza. 
4. Put the pizza back in the toaster or oven till the cheese is melted and it looks cooked (usually 3-6 minutes). 
5. Remove the pizza from the oven 
6. Enjoy!
