The Story of this Cheesy Bread
I remember hosting my elder fella and his friends for his 12th birthday party. I made an Avengers themed cake and some party food. These cheese discs along with few home made simple food made it to the menu.
The roohafza drink was a hit and so was this Watermelon Iced tea. For dessert it was gulkand gulab jamuns and ice-cream.
The cheesy bread rings, which I called Stark Toasts, were the hit of the party. I made about 20 for the 12-15 boys, and they disappeared instantly. I ended up making another 25 because they loved the cheesy, veggie-topped bread so much.
So, the next day, my inbox was blowing up with people asking for that cheese disc recipe! Apparently, all the kids loved them. And the best part? It's super easy – only takes like 20 minutes to throw together and another 20 in the oven.
Such a hit recipe, has to make to the blog and recorded, what say? I made these cheese discs again for my son's lunch today. He loved them so much he only took 15 minutes to finish his plate and even asked for seconds.

How to make the Cheesy Bread Disc
Please check recipe card below for exact measurements of each ingredient used and also for the detailed instructions.
- First make the toppings, wash and chop the veggies, take them in a big bowl, add the spices, cheese and mix well. Next make the spread by mixing the ingredients given under spread.
- You can the cut the bread into circle shape or keep the square shape of the bread and proceed. I have done both ways, they taste delicious
- If you are cutting into shape, use two cookie cutters. First, cut the outer ring for bread. Then, use the next small size to cut the base for the bread disc. There will be a base ring. Another ring sits on it. Together, they create a well inside for the filling.
- Add spread, toppings and bake them in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Baking time varies from oven to oven, so bake accordingly. Serve warm.

Equipment

- Measuring cups and spoons
- Convection oven
Ingredients
For the rings
- 10 nos White bread slices you can use brown/multigrain
- 1 no green capsicum finely sliced
- 1 no onion finely sliced
- 100 grams cheddar cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon mixed herbs
- ½ teaspoon freshly pounded black pepper

For the Spread
- 5 tablespoon butter softened
- 3-4 tablespoon tomato ketchup

Instructions

- Next the spread, take butter, grated cheese and tomato sauce, mix it well together
- Now get to the bread. Using a big cookie cutter cut a round slice of the bread. Using a smaller size cookie cutter cut a ring shape to act like a border for our cheese disc.
Assembling the disc
- Take a bread disc, smear the butter-ketchup spread, place the ring on top. Place 2-3 tablespoon of filling in the center. Repeat the same with other discs.
- Arrange the bread discs in a parchment lined baking tray. As they don't spread while baking, you can pack them little close.
- Preheat the oven to 200c and bake the discs for about 15-18 minutes.
- I baked these cheese discs in my microwave convection oven, which took around 18 minutes. When i baked them in my gas oven it too just 12 minutes. So keep an eye on your bread disc from around 10 minutes.
- Remove the discs from the oven let it sit on the wire rack for 5-8 minutes.
- Serve it warm, with some tomato ketchup on the side.
Notes
- Cutting the bread to shapes is totally your choice. if making it for kids party i would keep the shapes.

same pinch Priya, I too made these for week 4. So tasty and lip smacking disc or bread pizza they make. And fun part is you can stop at 1 simply eating 3-4 at one time. But must say homemade pizza things taste better then storebought pizzas.
