Instructions

1. Gently warm 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper and 1 minced or crushed garlic clove in a small pan on medium-low until warm but not hot. Sauté about 2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
2. Add 3 tablespoons ketchup and stir well.
3. Season with ⅛ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (half that for table salt) and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, stir, then transfer to a bowl to cool.
4. Cut 3 slices of shokupan 3/4 inch (1.5 cm) thick if not already sliced. Thinly slice ⅛ of a sweet onion and ⅛ of a green bell pepper, cut 4 cherry tomatoes into about three slices each, and cut 3 slices of ham into thin short strips.
5. Set the bread on the work surface. Cut diagonally in halves if serving children, then put the halves back together to look like one slice. Spread about 1 tablespoon of sauce on each slice and sprinkle with a small pinch of mozzarella.
6. Scatter onion, green pepper and ham over each slice, then top with tomato slices and the remaining mozzarella, about 2 tablespoons per pizza toast.
7. Set the toaster oven rack to the middle position and place the toast directly on it, with toppings not hanging over the edges. Toast on High (450°F / 230°C) until the edges brown and the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
8. Serve hot right away, with extra red pepper flakes if you like.
