Thursday’s Side Dish: Toasted Bread Pizza

An easy do-it-yourself for kids

Sliced bread turned into pizza? Yes, it’s easy to make by using ingredients found in the deli section of your favorite supermarket. Less is more with this snack. Julienned slices of ham and bits of cooked bacon will do in a pinch or buy pepperoni to bring it close to the Italian original. The convenient ingredient here is the left-over spaghetti or pasta sauce (like Prego or Ragu) that makes for a good pizza tomato sauce. We also suggest using cheese singles for each individual bread pizza. Place the cheese between the meat and the sauce with the sauce being the first layer on the bread. If you want to fancy things up a bit, add some grated cheese, sliced olives, or sliced white onions. Heat each one in a toaster oven at 250 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes.
