French bread pizza is easier than making homemade pizza dough and faster than calling out for delivery. Just pick up a loaf of fresh French bread and use your favorite toppings for a quick-and-easy dinner. For fun, let the kids add their own pizza toppings. And don't forget—this makes some great Game Day food, sliced into smaller pieces.
