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.
