1″-thick slice crusty bread, cut into ¾” pieces1 large tomato, cut into ½” wedges4 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into ¾” pieces2 ounces sliced pepperoni, halved if large½ cup fresh basil leaves, torn if large¼ cup chopped drained roasted red peppers¼ cup fresh parsley leaves2 tablespoons olive oil1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350º. Place bread on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until dry and beginning to turn golden, 10–12 minutes. Transfer bread to a large bowl and add tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, basil, peppers, parsley, oil, and vinegar.

Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper. Bread will soften as it absorbs tomato juices, oil, and vinegar.
