Print: French Bread Pizza

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.

Ingredients

1 , 12 ounce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup pizza sauce , or to taste
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese , or more to taste
pepperoni
red pepper flakes or chopped basil , for garnish

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup, and set aside.
2 Using a serrated knife, cut the French bread in half, and then slice in half lengthwise to make 4 pizzas. Lightly brush the cut sides of the bread with olive oil and place on the baking sheet.
3 Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes.
4 Remove from the oven; spread pizza sauce over each piece of bread, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Finish by adding your favorite toppings, pressing in slightly to adhere.
5 Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted and starting to brown, 10 to 13 minutes. Serve immediately.
