Pizza Bread Cups {Customizable}

Step 1

Flatten bread slices with rolling pin.

Step 2

Using a circle cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut 3- or 4-inch circles from each flattened bread slice. Brush olive oil over bread rounds, then press into cups of a standard size muffin tin.

Step 3

Toast bread cups in a 200°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until crisp and toasted. Remove from oven and increase temperature to 350°F.

Step 4

To assemble:

— Hawaiian Pizza Cups: Sprinkle bread cups with a pinch of garlic salt, then fill each with one slice of ham, a spoonful of pizza sauce, some mozzarella cheese, and diced pineapple.

Step 5

Bake pizza cups in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and filling is heated through. Remove from oven.
