Chicago-style pizza made with white bread

The story behind this recipe
I wanted to make Chicago's famous stuffed pizza (commonly known as Chicago pizza) easily at home, so I used white bread. It's more filling than pizza toast and allows you to eat plenty of vegetables.

Steps

1

Cut the white bread to about half a loaf's thickness from the crust side and hollow out the inside. Use the removed bread for sandwiches or croutons!
2

Spread 2/3 of the pizza sauce on the bottom and sides of the bread cup, and layer the ingredients alternately, except for the tomatoes.
3

Top with cheese, spread the remaining pizza sauce over it, place the tomatoes on top, and bake in a 400°F oven for about 20 minutes.
4

Baking time may vary depending on the oven and bread thickness. If the cheese hasn't melted when you cut it, bake a little longer. If it starts to burn, cover with aluminum foil.
