| Pizza Toast |
One of the easiest snacks we used to make when we were younger was the pizza toast. You just need bread, tomato (pizza) sauce, and toppings. Our Mom would make them for us as snacks or merienda. There was even a time that I sold them during a school fair.
We normally would use a baguette as the crust. And during that time, we bought our 'French' bread at Goldilocks when they were still selling a variety of baked goods. When our Mom would come home from work or from the mall with a baguette clasped in one arm, we knew we were in for a treat.
For the toppings, whatever cold cuts was available (ham, hotdog, or sausage, etc.), plenty of cheese, onions, and for added flavor, bell peppers or capsicum if we had one. We, usually, would use ingredients that were available during that time. Nothing fancy but tons of food happines.
My brothers and I would pile up the ingredients on the bread and toast them either in the small red toaster that my Mom won in a raffle or if we're making a lot, use the oven itself.
We liked our pizza really toasted for that extra bite plus the cheese really melts into the other toppings. The first taste says it all --- gooey cheese, crunchy bread, and savory meat.
I almost forgot about this memory and I was just reminded of it when we ordered a slice of pizza toast at a cafe. The texture and smell of the toast brought back happy and idyllic afternoons.
My nephews love pizza as well either with just cheese or pepperoni toppings and during a storm break from school, they also made their own DIY pizza.
Nowadays, if I'm craving for pizza, it's just so easy to order from one of the available pizza places that we have here in Cebu. I, usually, order from Greenwich. But, that's another tale for another time.
