About:

Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer recipe made toasted crusty bread with your favourite toppings. Here I used tomato, bell peppers, onion and sweet ripe pineapple as toppings. Using pineapple juice as a spread makes the bread tangy and sweet with its flavour.

I used homemade sourdough bread (Recipe link), alternatively any bread can be used.
