Here’s a super easy and delicious Oven-Baked French Bread Pizza recipe — perfect for a quick dinner or snack!
π Oven-Baked French Bread Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf French bread (cut in half lengthwise, then into serving-size pieces if desired)
- 1–1.5 cups pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of choice: pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, etc.
- Olive oil (optional, for brushing the bread)
- Italian seasoning or dried oregano (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prep the Bread: Cut French bread in half lengthwise. Brush lightly with olive oil for a crispier texture (optional).
-
Slightly Toast (Optional but recommended): Place bread halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and bake for 4–5 minutes to prevent sogginess.
-
Assemble Pizzas: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over each piece. Add mozzarella and your favorite toppings. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
-
Bake: Return to oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and edges are golden brown.
-
Serve: Let cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!
π Tip:
For extra-crispy bottoms, place the bread directly on the oven rack for the last 2–3 minutes of baking.
