Ingredients
Before you start, gather these ingredients. They’re simple, yet when combined, they create a symphony of flavors.
- 4 slices of sourdough or your favorite bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices of pepperoni
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

If you’re out of mozzarella, feel free to substitute with cheddar or provolone. For a vegetarian twist, replace pepperoni with sliced mushrooms or bell peppers.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these easy steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal in no time.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking.
- Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Sprinkle the buttered side with garlic powder and oregano for an extra flavor boost.
- Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the top of each slice of bread.
- Layer with shredded mozzarella and pepperoni slices. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Flip carefully to avoid losing any cheesy goodness.
Remember, patience is key. Letting the bread achieve that perfect golden crust is worth the wait!
