French Bread Pizzas – Just like the frozen kind, but 10x more delicious and wholesome! | thecomfortofcooking.com

Homemade pizza is loads of fun to make, but sometimes making the pizza dough, or finding just the right store bought one, is a pain in the buns. That’s why I love to make French bread pizzas! I get wheat French loaves from Target for $1. They make a scrumptious side for mopping up soups, a fluffy soft garlic bread, and crisp pizzas!

I topped these with my 5-minute homemade pizza sauce, a sprinkling of mozzarella and the toppings I had on hand. In this case, fresh herbs, deli pepperoni, olives and bell peppers. Top yours with whatever you’re craving or already have stocked! Here are some of my favorite toppings.

French Bread Pizzas

Yield: Makes 2-4 servings

Ingredients:

1 whole loaf French bread

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup pizza sauce, divided

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Your desired toppings (see this recipe for many ideas)

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Slice bread in half lengthwise and place on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Brush cut side of each loaf with a little olive oil. Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce on each bread half, then top each with 1/4 cup cheese. Add desired toppings. Evenly sprinkle bread halves with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is heated through.

Enjoy!

    Would love to know what toppings on this pizza you used. It seems that the link is not functioning correctly.

    Thank You!

    • Georgia — May 9th, 2013 @ 12:09 pm

      The links are fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out! On this pizza, the toppings I used were red peppers, black olives, pepperoni, parsley and basil. Hope you enjoy!

    Hey,

    Thanks for the reciepe. I was wondering if you freeze your french bread overnight? or can I just use fresh french bread from the supermarket?

    Thanks

    • Georgia — May 8th, 2015 @ 9:16 pm

      Fresh or day-old French bread is fine. No need to freeze.

    Thanks for the recipe! My son likes to use ranch dressing for the sauce and top with cheesesteak. And, I agree with Sally; your pictures are great with perfect lighting.
