Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the pizzas.
Step 2: Prepare the English Muffins
Slice the English muffins in half horizontally. Place the muffin halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, to prepare them for toppings.
Step 3: Add Sauce
Spread a layer of pizza sauce over each muffin half. Make sure to cover the surface evenly for the best flavor.
Step 4: Sprinkle Cheese
Top each muffin half with shredded mozzarella cheese. Be generous to allow for a gooey, cheesy topping once baked.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Add your choice of toppings over the cheese. This could include pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or any other favorites.
Step 6: Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Watch for the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
