1 lb Loaf Italian bread -14 inch 4 Thin slices of red onion
1 c Prepared pizza sauce 2 c Shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 md Red bell pepper 1/4 c Sliced Pepperioni (optional)
1/2 md Yellow or green bell pepper
Heat broiler with rack about 4 inches from heat source. Heat oven to
400 (If broiler and oven are one unit, change to oven temperature
after bread is toasted.)
Cut bread lengthwise in half and place on a large foil lined baking
sheet. Broil two minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove. Let cool
for a few minutes. Spread pizza sauce evenly over bread, spreading to
edges to prevent them from overbrowning.
Cut the peppers into very thin slices and arrange over pizza sauce.
Separate onion slices into rings and arrange over pepper strips. Layer
pepperioni over or under pepper strips. Sprinkle cheese evenly over
all.
Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into serving size
pieces.
