FRENCH BREAD PIZZA

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread

  day-old is fine!
• 4 tablespoon butter
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning

  divided
• 1 cup pizza sauce

  store-bought or homemade
• 2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese

  shredded
• 3 ounces pepperoni,

  sliced
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
• 2 Slice the French bread loaf lengthwise through the center to create two pizza
  “shells.” Use your hands to press down the bread’s center to make room for
  toppings and prevent sogginess.
• 3 Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl and mix in garlic powder, salt, pepper, and
  2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. Brush the melted butter onto the bread.
• 4 Place the bread on the baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 5 minutes.
• 5 Remove the bread, spread each half with ½ cup of pizza sauce, and sprinkle
  mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Top with pepperoni slices, then
  sprinkle Parmesan cheese and the remaining Italian seasoning.
• 6 Bake for10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Slice and
  serve immediately.
