I placed the flattened bread halves on the baking sheet, cut sides up.

Then I spread butter on both pieces of bread.

I sprinkled garlic powder over the butter.

Then I placed the baking sheet in the oven and toasted the bread slightly.

I removed the baking sheet from the oven and spread both pieces of bread with pizza sauce.

Then I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce.

I topped the cheese with pepperoni slices and diced green peppers.

Then I returned the baking sheet to the oven and baked the pizzas until the cheese was completely melted.

I sliced the loaves into the desired sized pieces.

Then the cheesy garlic bread pizza was ready to serve.
