French Bread Pizza
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12-16 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Homemade Pasta Sauce or your favorite brand
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped small
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the bread in half lengthwise and then cut each half into 3 pieces, as pictured. If the bread is thicker than about 1-inch, press down on each piece until it's closer to that thickness.
- Place the pieces on a large baking sheet. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Brush the sliced portion of each piece with the olive oil mixture.
- Top the bread with half of the 6-8 ounces cheese and place in the oven. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts.
8-10 min
- While the 12-16 ounces cheese is melting, warm the 1 ½ cups sauce in the microwave or on the stovetop. Remove the bread from the oven and spread the sauce evenly over the bread.
- Top with the remaining 12-16 ounces cheese and return to the oven until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with ¼ cup Parmesan and 2 tablespoons parsley before serving.
