Growing up in Japan, pizza was not a big part of our diet, particularly a few decades ago.
I don’t even think there were any restaurants that served pizza in our little town when I was a child; now pizza has become a lot more popular and there is even an awesome Italian restaurant a few blocks from my parents’ house that specializes in pizza.
However, what I remember is a pizza toast that my mom sometimes made us for a snack.
The other day I was in a mood for pizza but I didn’t want to spend the time to make dough, so I thought about making a pizza toast.
I happened to have homemade whole-wheat bread in the freezer.
I got my veggies ready.
And lucky me, I had frozen homemade vegan pepperoni.
Doesn’t it look good already?!
But it looks even better with my homemade vegan cheese.
When it was cooked in the toaster oven, I added more cheese and pepperoni, and then sprinkled chopped fresh basil.
It was such a great snack!
And it definitely satisfied my craving for pizza.
Go-chi-so-sa-ma-de-shi-ta.
Have a great weekend everyone!
