Preheat Oven: Set oven to 420°F (215°C).
Toast the Bread: Arrange garlic Texas toast on a non-stick or foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, flipping halfway (2½ minutes per side) until lightly toasted.
Add Toppings: Remove from oven. Spoon a thin layer of sauce on each toast slice. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly, then top with halal pepperoni.

Watch carefully during broiling as it can go from perfect to burnt quickly
For best results, let cheese come to room temperature before using
Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days
Reheat in 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness
Ensure all ingredients are halal-certified for dietary compliance
