We have been so busy lately with school, swim lessons for both kids twice a week and my daughter starting her micro soccer league two nights a week. I have been looking for quick and easy recipes for lunches and dinners. I found a par baked loaf of ciabatta bread at Trader Joes and thought it would be excellent for a panini but at the last minute decided to use up left over turkey pepperoni and sauce to make the kids pizza bread for lunch. It was really simple to make and my kids loved it.
Pizza Bread:
Ciabatta bread
Pizza sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Turkey pepperoni
Pineapple chunks
Dried basil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the par baked ciabatta bread on a baking tray and bake for 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Slice in half lengthwise and spread pizza or marinara sauce on each half of the bread. Sprinkle with mozzarella on each side then top with turkey pepperoni, pineapple and a bit of dried basil.
Bake on a pizza tray for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Slice and serve. Enjoy.
