Pizza cups | Pizza cups using leftover bread

Pizza cups using leftover bread - After the hit of the bread pizza recipe in my family, I started doingit regularly. Sometimes with the whole bread and sometimes with the sides cut. I mostly bake the bread sides to make bread crumbs. But I had enough bread crumps at home and I don't want to throw them away. When checked in net could not find best recipes using the bread sides. So I created my own recipe of this pizza cups using the leftover bread sides. The cups were not so crunchy, but it tasted good. If you have any idea to make it more crunchier please drop your comments so I can try it the next time.
