French Bread Pizza
French Bread Pizza is the ultimate snack when you're craving pizza but don't have the time to make your own dough. It's easily customizable and perfect for weeknights, game day, or after school snacking!
Servings: 8 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread or baguette, Italian bread, or any rustic loaf
- 1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes hand crushed and completely drained of liquid
- 1 teaspoon Sicilian oregano or Italian
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 10-12 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese weight will vary, but use enough to cover the pizza completely
- 3 tablespoons Pecorino Romano grated
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic grated
Instructions
- Hand crush the plum tomatoes and drain the excess juice. Save the juice for another use. Add the salt and oregano to the tomatoes and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 450f and set the rack to the middle level. Mix the garlic and olive oil together.
- Slice the loaf in half and if each side is thicker than 1", press down to flatten. Using a pastry brush, coat the inside of both pieces of bread with garlic oil and place onto a baking sheet. Bake for 3-5 minutes or until golden.
- Spread the sauce onto the bread then cover with cheese. Bake for 8 more minutes. Remove the pizza and distribute the grated Pecorino Romano on both sides. Bake until bubbly and golden (about 2-3 more minutes). Remove fromthe oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice into 4 pieces per side. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use any toppings you like. Sausage, meatballs, cupping pepperoni, and mushrooms all work well.
- There might be some extra sauce leftover.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and the pizza can be reheated at 350f on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet until hot.
