This French bread pizza recipe offers a quick and cheesy meal perfect for busy weeknights. It’s easily customizable with your favorite toppings and provides a satisfying crunch with gooey cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf French bread or Italian bread
  • ¼ cup Salted butter or olive oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 ½ cups Pizza sauce or marinara
  • ½ tsp Dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Toppings as desired (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise.
  3. In a small bowl, combine softened butter and minced garlic. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
  4. Place the bread halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes until lightly browned and crisp.
  5. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the toasted bread. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
  6. Layer with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Add your desired toppings over the cheese.
  7. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. For an extra crispy finish, you can broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Let the French bread pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Serve with a sprinkle of fresh basil for added flavor and color.
  • You can substitute Italian bread for French bread.
  • Consider mixing mozzarella with provolone for extra flavor.
  • Pecorino Romano can be used instead of Parmesan.
  • Drain moist toppings or pre-cook meats to prevent sogginess.
  • For a dessert variation, use Nutella or almond butter as a base with fruit toppings.
