Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf ciabatta bread sliced in half
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 2-3 cups shredded mozzarella
  • ¼ cup mini pepperonis
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon roasted red pepper flakes
  • 3-4 leaves fresh basil chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425F.
  • While your oven is preheating, slice your ciabatta loaf in half.
  • Place your ciabatta halves on a baking sheet and allow to bake in the preheated oven, with nothing on them, at 425F for 3 minutes. This will give you the best results when it comes to a crispy, yet fluffy crust.
  • Spread your marinara sauce over the halves of the ciabatta.
  • Top with your mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder on top.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.
