Open in Pepper →Pizza Night Without The Dough
Some nights you want pizza and you do not want to wait on dough. An English muffin, a slice of French bread, or a piece of naan gets you there in the time it takes the oven to heat.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the kids are hungry at 5:30, when everybody wants something different on top, or when there is half a loaf of bread on the counter that needs using.
Every recipe here starts with bread and ends with melted cheese: BBQ Chicken Ranch French Bread Pizza, Air Fryer Pizza Toast, Low Calorie English Muffin Pizzas, Mini Pizzas on naan, and Christie's Fun Mini Pizzas.
Quick Tips
- 1
Toast the bread first
Give split muffins or bread 3 to 4 minutes in the oven before saucing so the bottom stays crisp instead of going soggy.
- 2
Go easy on sauce
About 1 to 2 tablespoons per muffin half is plenty; more than that soaks straight through the bread.
- 3
Shred your own cheese
A block of mozzarella shredded at home melts smoother than bagged, which is coated to keep it from clumping.
- 4
Watch the air fryer
Pizza toast cooks fast at 350°F, usually 4 to 6 minutes, so check at 4 before the edges darken.
