Garlic Bread Pizza, 3 Ways

One of my favorite meals to make is homemade pizza because the combinations of toppings and recipes are endless. You can cater to any taste and make the whole family happy with just a few simple changes to a base pizza recipe. My go-to pizza has always been made with pizza dough, but recently I have been experimenting with new crust ideas. For a super simple, no-fuss crust, use garlic bread as your base! Here are my three favorite pizza recipes for garlic bread pizza.

Before I dive into the different pizza recipes, let’s get the garlic bread going. If I’m in a rush, I’ll take the easy way out and use a pre-packaged frozen Texas toast garlic bread loaf as the crust. It’s easily found in the grocery store’s freezer section. If I have a little more time, I’ll make garlic bread from scratch. Here’s my favorite recipe:

Step 5: Bake at 350 degrees until bread is slightly crispy.

You can make as many loaves as you want by increasing the ingredients accordingly. I made a few and froze some to use later on. Now let’s get to the good stuff—pizza toppings!
