What’s the difference between French bread pizza and pizza bread?

French bread pizza is like a traditional pizza, except instead of a pizza crust you’re putting your toppings ON TOP of a loaf of French bread. Pizza bread is when the toppings are incorporated WITHIN the bread itself.

How do you make French bread pizza in the microwave?

I haven’t tested the microwave method myself, but you could probably prepare the French bread pizza recipe below and instead of putting it in the oven, put it in the microwave. I don’t think I’d recommend this method though, as the dough will get super soft and the toppings will get mushy… when the best pizza will have a firm dough and browned ingredients on top. If you can’t do an oven, a toaster oven would your best bet.

How do you make French bread pizza not soggy?

First, don’t cook it in the microwave! I also recommend starting with ingredients at room temperature (especially if you’re using bread that was frozen).

Can you use an Italian loaf, or make baguette pizza instead?

Yes! You can use any similar-shaped bread to make these pizzas. Follow the recipe as written (except making the bread) and you’re good to go!

Ingredients

Scale

1 batch French Bread
½ – 1 cup homemade pizza sauce
4–8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
4–8 oz pepperoni
Other toppings as desired

Instructions

Make homemade French bread and let it cool completely. Alternatively, use a loaf of store-bought French bread. Slice the bread through the middle horizontally and place face-up on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Spoon pizza sauce over the two pieces of bread. Top with cheese and desired toppings.
Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, and then place under the broiler for about 2-5 minutes, or until the cheese is light brown and bubbly.
Let cool for a couple minutes before slicing using a large chef’s knife. Be sure to cut the French bread pizza using one large cut, and not drag the knife through the cheese!

Notes

Any time you make French bread, make a 2x or 3x batch.

When it’s cooled, slice horizontally and store it in the freezer.

Double wrapping the loaf will keep out freezer burn and keep your bread super soft when it’s time to make pizza. Thaw the frozen bread at room temperature before making pizza.
