Rye Bread Party Pizzas Recipe

I originally shared this recipe back in January of 2015. They are super delicious, but not the most photogenic, so don’t let the lack of a pretty picture scare you off.

That is why you are likely to have never seen them around here before. The original pictures were horrendous, so they haven’t been paraded around on social media.

When trying to think of a good appetizer to make for the holidays, I knew these had to be on the short list. We often have them at Christmas to snack on while we are playing games.

So I dug into the archives for the recipe and started feeling guilty for not doing more to make sure you knew about the recipe too. They really are good!

Luckily they are pretty easy to make as well. Start by browning a pound each of pork sausage (like the breakfast style) and Italian sausage.

We usually use mild for both, but feel free to spice it up if that is what you like! Then you add in a mix of spices, ketchup and Worcestershiresauce.

If you have never seen the little loaves of bread like that, our store keeps them by the fancy cheese case in the deli. You may have to look around a little bit for them, but they should be available because folks use them for a variety of canape.

My grandma said when she first started making this recipe, the cocktail rye bread was round. That made them look extra pizza like.

Now the bread is in squares and that is how I always remember it being. Who know when they made the switch or why.

Anyway, this recipe makes 90 party ryes. It may be tempting to cut the recipe in half, but go ahead and make the whole thing.

They freeze wonderfully and can be baked off in 10 minutes next time you have an unexpected guest. Or just make them ahead of time when you know you are going to host a party.

We almost always have some at Christmastime, but they are also a fabulous snack for your New Year’s Eve gathering or game day as well. In fact one batch can show up at all of those events!
