Ingredients

1 loaf (340g) French bread

30 ml olive oil

240 ml pizza sauce, or to taste

200g shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste

Pizza toppings: pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers, jalapenos, ham, bacon, or tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

Using a serrated knife, halve the French bread, and then slice each half lengthwise to create 4 pizzas. Lightly brush the cut sides of the bread with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the oven; spread pizza sauce over each piece of bread, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Add your favorite toppings, pressing them in slightly to adhere.

Step 5

Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, about 10 to 13 minutes. Serve immediately.
