French Bread Pizza Recipe

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 4 people per bagguette

Ingredients

  • 1 Baguette
  • 1 jar of pizza sauce
  • 8 oz. of shredded mozzarella

Suggested toppings:

For margarita

  • Cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • Fresh basil ripped

For my style

  • Sopressata sliced
  • Onion sliced
  • Kalamata olives sliced

For veggie delight

  • Onion sliced
  • Bell pepper sliced
  • Kalamata olives sliced
  • Mushroom sliced
  • Basil ripped into pieces
  • Oregano dry

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Cut the baguette: Cut the baguette into 6 to 8 inch sized pieces, and then take all of the pieces and cut them in half lengthwise. I find the easiest way to do this is to stand them up and then take a bread knife to slice down the middle. Set these aside.
  • Prep the toppings: Decide which topping you want to use and make sure that they are all cleaned, sliced, and ready to go.
  • Assemble the pizzas: Once the oven has reached 425 degrees it is time to start building the pizzas
  • For the margarita – First place down a good layer of the mozzarella cheese. Then simply follow this up with some sliced cherry tomatoes and some fresh basil.
  • For my style – Take a spoon and spread out a nice even layer of the pizza sauce on the french bread, follow this up with the mozzarella cheese, and then the suggested toppings.
  • For the veggie delight – Take a spoon and spread out a nice even layer of the pizza sauce on the french bread, follow this up with the mozzarella cheese, and then the suggested toppings.
  • Bake the Pizzas: Carefully place the french bread pizzas into your hot oven. I recommend placing them on top of either a pizza stone, or a baking sheet, as some toppings can slide off of the bread while cooking. Let the french bread pizzas bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how well done you prefer.
