Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 loaf soft French bread
- 2 tablespoons garlic butter (or regular butter)
- ⅔ cup pizza sauce any kind
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese freshly grated is best
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ cup pepperoni mild or spicy, regular or minis
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F, ensuring that one rack is positioned in the upper third of the oven to avoid burning the base.
For Assembly:
- Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and slightly flatten it to prevent curling. Spread the garlic butter on the cut surfaces.
- Toast the bread in the oven for 4-5 minutes, or broil for 2-3 minutes until just dried and crusty on top without browning further. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 400°F.
- Apply a light coating of pizza sauce on each half of the bread, just enough for flavor without making it soggy.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, add a hint of Italian seasoning, and place your pepperoni on top (or other favorite toppings).
- Bake in the top section of the oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden to your preference.
- Once baked, slice the pizza and indulge!
