What is Loaded bread pizza?
Loaded Bread Pizza is a quick and easy version of traditional pizza made using bread slices instead of pizza dough.
It’s called “loaded” because the bread base is generously topped with:
Pizza sauce or tomato ketchup
A mix of colorful vegetables like capsicum, onion, tomato, corn, or mushrooms
Seasonings such as oregano, chili flakes, or mixed herbs
And of course, a good layer of grated mozzarella or processed cheese
The bread is then baked or toasted until the cheese melts and turns bubbly. It’s a 10–15 minute snack that gives you the taste of pizza without the effort of making a base, making it perfect for kids, quick evening cravings, or party starters.

Bread slices – 10
Pizza sauce – 5 to 6 tbsp (½ tbsp per slice)

Quick and Easy Loaded bread pizza:
Loaded Bread Pizza saves time because you don’t need to prepare or rest a pizza base—regular bread slices do the job instantly. All you have to do is spread some pizza sauce, layer the toppings, sprinkle cheese, and bake or toast for a few minutes until the cheese melts. In just 10–15 minutes, you have a hot, cheesy, and delicious pizza ready to serve, without the fuss of traditional pizza-making.
How to make
1. Prepare the mould
Grease a round cake mould with butter.
Line the sides with bread slices, slightly overlapping them.
Place more bread slices at the base and press gently with a spoon.
2. First layer
Spread pizza sauce and cheese sauce over the bread base.
Add onion, bell pepper, olives, and sprinkle oregano + chili flakes.
Top with grated cheese.
3. Second bread layer
Place bread slices over the first layer and tap with a spoon to set.
4. Second topping layer
Repeat with sauces, veggies, seasoning, and cheese.
5. Final bread & cheese seal
Cover with bread slices on top.
Spread a little cheese sauce to seal the bread edges.
Add a generous layer of mozzarella to cover the surface.
6. Bake
Preheat oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
Bake the layered bread pizza for 20–25 minutes, until the top is golden and cheesy.
7. Serve like a cake
Let it cool slightly, then slice into wedges like a cake.
Garnish with chili flakes and oregano.
Expert Tips
1. Choose the right bread – Use medium-thick slices. Too thin makes it soggy, too thick makes it heavy.
2. Don’t overspread sauces – A thin, even layer prevents sogginess. Too much sauce will make the bread fall apart.
3. Press each layer gently – Use the back of a spoon to tap and set the bread so the pizza cake holds shape.
4. Seal the top properly – Spread cheese sauce across the final bread layer to lock in moisture before adding cheese.
5. Rest before slicing – Allow 5 minutes of cooling before cutting; this helps the layers stay intact like a real cake.
6. Use a springform pan if possible – Makes unmoulding easy and presentation neater.
