French Bread Pizza Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 22 min total

A quick and easy weeknight dinner using crusty French bread as the base for a customizable, cheesy pizza.

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread (about 16 inches long)
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Optional toppings: pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, olives

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and place cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the pizza sauce, oregano, and garlic powder. Spread evenly over both bread halves.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then top with Parmesan cheese.
5. Add any desired toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers).
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges of bread are golden brown.
7. Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice each half into 4 pieces and serve.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, toast the bread cut-side up in the oven for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven.
