You know Chef John has made it when Chef John references him in a video.
Lmao
Lol. He references him every episode when he opens!
I read this comment then sat through the pre-bake prep expecting, "You are after all, the Chef John of using the correct parmesan."
Thats was the best one I have heard yet! 🤣
I haven't even watched the video yet but this comment made me laugh!
Last night after a long day of running errands, for a late supper, we took two loaves of buttered garlic bread, unfolded them, spread a little pizza sauce, tossed on some chopped smoked sandwich ham, sprinkled it with lots of mozzarella and some cheddar for color, baked until the cheese was golden.
Used up a lot of random leftovers and had a great quick supper.
And yes, we enjoyed.
You can't go wrong with that! Make mine with EXTRA GARLIC. For a twist, serve the sauce in a bowl, and dip pieces of the bread-pizza in it. IMO this helps the sauce ratio, per bite.
thats the spirit haha
Way less expensive than ordering pizza and more enjoyable I bet! 😊
you are now a quald u tube CHEF
But did u serve it with salad???
I’ve been doing this in a cast iron skillet for years. I use sourdough slices, a dry tomato paste based sauce, and whatever you want. I cover the skillet and cook over medium low until your kitchen smells like a pizzeria or the cover is hot to the touch. The bottom comes out nice and toasty the cheese is all melty and gooey. The interior bread is steamy and soft. It’s like one of the best Roman pizza slices I’ve ever had without even turning on the oven.
👍👍 Thanks for the info, do you deliver to Australia ?
*sourdough, one word 😉
Yes - sourdough is much tastier than any pizza dough I've ever had. I do it this way as well not just to save money but because it tastes better than conventional pizza.
@@gtaylor6937 Not only everything you've mentioned but I find the sourdough bread is always on sale as most folks don't buy it.
Everybody did this or similar since I was a kid... 55 yrs ago, 100's of variations. Growing up on a budget makes you invent dishes often.
There are truly an infinite amount of ways to combine bread cheese and meat. How could I not try making a recipe so easy?
It's pretty fantastic. Naan and pita bread are also great for making small pizzas.
@@drinfernodds That's sold commercially, under the name Hot Pocket.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 having had both, I wouldn't call hot pocket bread anywhere similar to Naan bread.
@@drinfernodds The person posting that obviously never had a fresh made stuffed pita pizza. 😂 Had Indian coworkers bring that at potluck at the hospital, it's incredible. Somebody made a stuffed butter chicken with cheese and it had no leftovers.😋
After ages trying to make a good pizza I eventually started doing something similar to this out of laziness. Everyone says it's amazing and my pizza is mediocre.
My parents always had a salad with pizza, I still do too. Even if it was takeout pizza they'd throw a salad together. Good to know Chef John knows what's good.
Same here ❤ I always eat a salad with my pizza.
In many countries you always get a "pizza salad" with your takeout pizza. Great for digestion if you have a little of the salad before you eat the pizza. Not rarely is it based on white cabbage rather than lettuce or romaine or any of the more common salad bases.
Me too, and most of the time I like plain potato chips with pizza as well. As a kid, I always loved an ice cold glass of milk with pizza.
My mom was Italian and she always made an Italian salad when we had pizza.
This recipe brought back such sweet memories, when my kids were in school and had to come home for lunch. I would make lots of these little lunch time pizzas with slice bread, I always made extra's cuz I never know which one of them would bring home a friend or two. I had four of my own but the neighborhood they grew up in we always helped each other out , if a parent couldn't be home for lunch
Wow your parents actually gave a shit lol.
That's what neighbours are. They care about others.
That little buttering and cheesing the bottom trick (and the pre-bake) actually IS kind of genius. Can't wait to try this, although slightly afraid of how easy it's going to make gaining a large amount of weight.
My no-dough pizza is made with tortillas. Take 2 tortillas of whatever size you want, and spread out a little bit of cheese between them so that they stick together when you cook the pizza. Like it's really just a sprinkle. Put them on a pizza tray/ stone (if you're getting a tray, get a high quality one with holes in it. Mine was around $30 and the bottom of my pizzas come out nice and crispy.). Add all the pizza things you like, and put it the oven with the heat as high as your tray will allow (mine's only 450, boo), and cook until the cheese is golden brown. The tortillas make a nice ultra-thin and crispy crust that allows you to fill up on the toppings rather than the base. It's so easy to make and tastes good, that I don't really buy pizza anymore. You could also use pita bread or naan bread, but I buy tortillas to make wraps/ burritos anyways so I already have them on hand.
I nearly choked on my breakfast over the "You're the Chef John of putting your cheese on" line...
Since I am a big guy and also lazy I do this with turkish flatbread.
Just get one in the bakery, slice it so you get the top and bottom halfs.
Add sauce, and whatever you want on the top or bottom, add cheese and into the oven at 200°C for a couple of minutes or until the cheese has melted.
And after watching this video I want one right now, thanks Chef John.
Professional Chef: Cut parchment paper perfectly to size, then use a few touches of butter to hold it in place for a beautiful effect
Home Chef: Just tear it so it covers everything. Don't put butter on it, that's just more to wash afterwards. Who cares how it looks, eat your supper! 😆
Exactly.
When I was little, my mom used to do this with pita bread! She would cut a hole all around the top, top it like a normal pizza, then once the cheese and pepperoni crisped up she'd put the "hat" back on under the broiler for a minute. This brought back some great memories. Thanks, John!
That's known as a Chicago Hot Pocket, son.
How does this work? What does “cut a hole all around the top” mean, and what’s the hat? I wanna make this but I don’t get what’s going on.
@@macsarcule i think he meant he cut around the pita and since its hollow inside you get two identical pieces that you can close later
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Good to know it has a name! Thanks! I just knew it was, "Mom doesn't have money or time for real pizza, but this is real good, too," pizza.
@@macsarcule Ok so you k now how the pita is a pocket with the hollow inside? She'd lay it flat, and use kitchen scissors to cut a circle out of the top, a bit smaller than the whole pita. So the edges would look like a pizza crust. Then at the end, she'd take that circle and put it back on top. We called it the Pizza Hat, since Pizza Hut was out of the question at the time. :D
Nobel Prizes have been awarded for less of a contribution than you’re making to the culinary arts with this recipe. Well done!
Like what?
@@Jay-jb2vr I can think of one...
@@Jay-jb2vr No. 44 for example.
@@Jay-jb2vr Barrack Obama springs immediately to mind.
@@annastinehammersdottir1290 what's that gotta do with cooking?? This is not FOX news channel
In Poland we call them "zapiekanka". They come in all shapes and sizes and all kinds of toppings and they are the sole reason why I was a fat kid.
its crazy that you're still pumping these out...i used to watch back in like 2009
“You must serve a salad with this for your health.”
*salad pictured is romaine lettuce with roughly 5 pounds of grated cheese on top* 😆🖤
Truly the only way to serve salad.
That’s a pizza place salad
@@thomasstevenhebert lol
That actually was not enough cheese 😯🤣
One can also use Cole Slaw?
Lettuce is crunchy water
There is a similar thing here in Germany, its called Pizzabrötchen and is delicious if done right
Just made this (except olive oil instead of butter on the bottom side) soooooo good Chef John. Thanks for another great recipe!
Now try it with garlic spread on the top side, just under the sauce.
I watched this video when it came out 10 months ago. The date is March 2, 2024 as I type this out. I just prepared this recipe. It’s amazing. Chef John serenades my Sicilian soul.
My Wife, much like Michelle, always reminds me when I get too Cheesy!
Would love to see a Compilation of her favorite Recipes you shared with us.

Been in the game longer than I wanted,and have a new Love in my Life... Just want to Surprise her, kinda like this Butter Bread Pizza.
It's Lovely to find a Treat like this
I've made a simpler version of this for years. Lightly toast in the toaster then add usually bbq sauce with small chunks of cooked chicken & topped with cheese then under the broiler but this ups it! I bet a sprinkle of garlic powder with the parm would be insanely good too!
This is brilliant! Thank you, Chef John!
"..0nce our pan is papered," is a fine line..
It's a sleeper amongst the greatest of many food (ars poetica) phrases that Chef John has given us.
Chef John continues to be THE greatest youtube chef. Memers and clout chasers and humble moms and 25 year old nerds cannot compete.
One more Chef John recipe I’ll be trying! Looks and sounds great!
you never cease to turn out incredible recipes! you got me really into cooking as a kid and as an adult i cannot thank you enough! God bless you, Chef.
Been making this for my boys for 20 yrs and i call it pizza toast always goes down a treat
Reminds me of grade school Snappy Pizzas. These used hamburger buns. We kids loved them!
Love the process from bottom to top of bread. Thank you.
Good to see you Chef. Sorry about your loss. Much love tp you and thank you for all you do.
Omg! Looks amazing! That crunch!
I love how Ive been watching this channel since middle school and it's still the same as I remember nearly 10 years later
Wow that crounch sound was amazing. And the "pizzas" look soooo good🤤
This looked so good I ended up going to the store on a Saturday evening to get some bread and cheese. Of course, the supermarket was out of Italian and French bread, so I ended up with a loaf of Olive Oil & Rosemary Focaccia. It was a perfect match. It was so good in fact that I made the same thing again for lunch the next day. It is better than "real" pizza. Real Parmesan and fresh mozzarella are so good. Amazing and simple recipe.
i bet focaccia is much better too.
You, sir ARE a genius!!!!!! That crunch made my mouth water!
my gradeschool use to do this type of pizza for snack time. absolutely loved it. the softy and creamy texture was divine
Perfect timing since I just made Chef John's no kneed French baguettes!
Thanks so much for the tip about the prebaking :) it sounds great!
I haven't watched one of your videos in years. I love your recipes. I still use them. This is like my favorite thing ever now. This is like comfort food for me. My favorite thing is pizza. CZcams put it at the top of my list.
Thanks Chef John! I made these for my husband last night and he loved them! You rock!❤🍕🎉
A good tip for home pizza making- when the pizza is pretty much done cooking, turn the oven off and turn on the high broiler. Keep the oven door open a crack so the residual heat can escape but the direct heat will put a beautiful toast on your pizza top in a mere 2-3 minutes. Just keep your eye on it and pull it out when it’s toasted to your liking.
Good idea, and you can already have the second oven rack moved up near the broiler, as well.
Broiler is the most under appreciated tool in the kitchen
Chef John bringing me back to my college days
Awesome recipe Chef John!
This is like the Oscar Mayer microwave "Zappetites" pizzas, from the 1990s! I cried, when they were discontinued! Thank you, Chef John!
That crunch 🔥
Finally, a recipe I can make.
As a native Detroiter who has lived in New England the last 6 years I NEED to try this. I miss Detroit Pizza so much.
OMG YUM! Thank you Chef John!
Never would’ve thought to use Parmesan like that! Amazing video!
I do this all the time for a quick snack. But I use sourdough bread. That slight tang that sourdough has just gives it another depth of flavor.
Holy crap!! Everything my mom made in the 70’s is coming back.
Had to try it and absolutely loved it. Will be a fave from now on.
I had this yesterday, was very good 🍕👍🏻✨
Looks much better than the white sandwich bread w/ Ragu Pizza Quick Sauce (now just Pizza Sauce) I made in the microwave after school as a kid. I always refer to using bread as “ghetto pizza” and I actually made some a few days ago w/ leftover naan.
everything you make looks awesome, this one stands out for me as something that must taste incredible. thank you.
Absolutely awesome!!!!
No sleep for me tonight...got to make this! You always come through on creating wonderful food. Thanks for your creative talent.
OMG that looks amazing.... I have some stale sourdough and I'm doing this tomorrow!!! Thanks Chef John!!
Hi Therese 🙋. So, I'm curious. How did your sourdough bread pizza turn out for you the next day after your comment a month ago? I love sourdough bread also & I think it would be DELICIOUS for this recipe! Hope you enjoyed it. ✌️ to you.
🍕Janet🥖
@@janetking2035 it was pretty good!
@@janetking2035 it was great, I enjoyed it!
This brought back memories of "pizza burger" from gradeschool-thru-HS cafeterias; haven't had one in 45 years. Thanks for the reminder, and recipe!
My school pizza had nasty flakes of some tasteless herb in the sauce. It was like picking bits of paper out of your mouth. Absolutely the worst pizza I've ever had in my life, year after year. At least they were consistent.
It looks very delicious, thank you.
I've done this since college, including the butter, and my house mates loved it during late night study marathons. But Chef John, you might try using a rolling pin to flatten and thin the bread out a bit before you do anything else. I think the final texture comes out even better and more like real pizza.
Or use Mexican tortillas instead of french bread. I call them upside down quesadillas.
Study marathons? Oh, sure.
Chef John has finally gone full circle by using himself as the subject of his pun. 😂
I've done these many times for quick and easy dinners when I've not been very hungry. Works great.
Another shortcut I have for a quick pizza is to use a pita bread, cut i all the way around, and you immideatly have two bottoms to slather your toppings onto.
I like these recipes - they are delivered with such good natured enthusiasm! And they work well, which is of course a bonus!
Chef John, I’ve been doing something similar with fresh baked loaves of ciabatta. I slice the loaf, rub both sides and edges well with extra Virgin olive oil (very very well oiling the bread) and pre crisp it in the oven. Then I top it with cubes of mozz, pop it back in the oven to melt it, then top with sauce and cubes of pepperoni from a stick. Back in the oven on a high temp for several mins. It’s truly fantastic.
I was afraid this somehow involved bread and butter pickles, so I'm glad I watched the recipe. It's on my list of things to do this week!
Bread and butter pickle toasted cheese sandwich is to die for!!!
But I like bread and butter pickles!Ha Ha
Pepperoni and bread and butter pickles, mmmm yum
@@demonicrebellion6903 Pepperoni or salami goes with pickles like God invented it. Pickled jalapenos, even.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Jalapenos or even banana peppers with some ricotta as toppings on a pizza create a similar flavor profile to jalapeno poppers.
Started baking Sourdough 4 months ago. This is the BEST EVER We LOVE it.! Thank You!
Yummmm! Making this tomorrow thanks Chef!
I'm making a loaf of this bread right now and this is what I'll be doing with the leftovers. I'll be making a taco version of this. Thanks for the fabulous idea!!!
Taco version? Why not pre-bake a large flour tortilla and use that for the crust?
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Because I will have leftover bread to try this on and it's thicker than a tortilla. Yummmaaaaaaay
This version of pizza looks delicious! Never seen cheese baked on bottom of pizza. I love crunchy texture, perfect recipe for me. I might add garlic on top of the butter.
Creative and delicious.
I do the same exact thing but I use english muffins instead! It was how when I was much younger, we would make "little pizzas". Always loved those nights
Stay tuned for more hot tips for middleschoolers who are only allowed to use the toaster oven
Best part is my brother makes it for me and the cheese goes Blub, blub, blub
I'm 30 and I don't want to wash anything, Scott. And I will eat this on a paper towel too
@@mon6745 Paper towel? I eat on leftover pizza boxes.
Stupidly snarky.
Hey! I'm 62, way past middle school. I use my all in one Cuisinart toaster, broiler, air fryer, warmer, convection oven and air broiler almost exclusively.
Yes, I'm all in for toaster oven cooking!
You had to go an ruin it by serving it with a salad.
Yeah I only eat pizza with a 6 gallon drum of boiling pig fat.
Great recipe, im sure to try!
Looks so good!
why does he talk like that?
why does this guy talk so weird
Just tried this…delicious!!!
I do the same thing with toasted english muffins ever since I was a kid lol
Do you talk like that in real life?
Why do you talk that way?
I had a school counselor with the same intonation as chef John. It was comforting to hear as a kid.😁
Loved this!
I made this tonight and I looked up the homemade chef John's pizza sauce, this is one of the most delicious things I've eaten. That sauce is fabulous! It is just the right amount of sweet and spicy. I did everything to taste, but the anchovies make it. It adds the saltiness and brininess that you need, and you would never know what was in it. You just know it tastes delicious!
going to definitely try this!!!
You are a food Icon, Chef John. Thank you.
I just made this for my family and it was a huge success. Delicious!
I dry out my frozen bread / pre-cook bread in a toaster on a very low setting.
A light rye bread works well IMO.
Spread a thin layer of spicy BBQ sauce on the bread makes a nice improvised pizza sauce for pepperoni & cheese.
All purpose seasoning or All purpose spicy seasoning goes well sprinkled on the cheese or the sauce.

That... is genius. Especially the parmesan-butter underside. This I will be trying
Back in the 60's when I was just a little squirt and we (Catholics) could not eat meat on Fridays, my mom would make something very similar to this for Friday dinner and we loved it! Brings back memories.
love it , thanks for sharing
Being an american chef, I love the way you insist on Parmiggiano Regiano and not the American knock off!
Looks delicious Chef!
Thanks chef!
Looks and sounds incredible !
Yum thanks for the recipe
I love your video presentation! So unique! I’m trying the pizza 🍕 ❤
Thanks Chef John for making pizza better and easier!
4:03 I greatly appreciate you going back to that piece and putting a couple more pieces of cheese on it. Right before you did I was saying to myself, “Man, that bottom left slice needs a litttle bit more,” and you delivered (as always). Gonna try this one soon, looks incredibly good and so easy to do 👍
