French Bread Pizza

Found the idea for this recipe on Pinterest (of course). What did we do before pinterest? Oh yes Facebook! HA! I love Pinterest and I think I have said that before MANY times!

So this is what you will need for your french bread pizza:

1 loaf of french bread
Cheese
sauce (gotta be homemade) I mean you can do store-bought, but why would you? HA! I am allllll about homemade!
your favorite toppings
I chose Crimini Mushrooms, sliced
White button mushrooms, sliced (I love mushrooms)
pepperonis
Sliced red onion
sliced Green bell pepper
Fresh mozzarella
and freshly grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

So start my making your sauce, so simple!
I just grabbed a medium sauce pan and preheated the burner to medium heat and coated the bottom of the sauce pan with a little bit of olive oil,
then added in 2 garlic cloves that I minced finely
then waited a couple of minutes and sautéed the garlic cloves till I smelled the garlic very strong and then added in a 28oz can of tomato sauce
then added salt, pepper, italian seasoning, red wine, balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp brown sugar, garlic salt, dried thyme…just whatever seasoning sound good to you!

Let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes

While the sauce was simmering I prepped all the other ingredients

grab the french bread

cut it in half

then spoon some of the sauce onto the bread

do a thin layer, not too much as it will make the bread soggy. You will have a lot of sauce left and that’s so you can dip your bread back in the sauce (as I LOVE extra sauce).

Then add the fresh mozzarella

and then add the parmesan cheese

then add the pepperoni

Then add sliced mushrooms

Then add the bell pepper

Then add the onions

Then place the bread on a baking sheet

and pop in the oven

Bake for 10 minutes and then once the 10 minutes is done I put the oven on broil for 5 minutes for the bread and veggies to crisp up some…

They might have gotten a little too done, and I burnt the bread a little. And actually it added flavor

Just the edges got burnt. So maybe if you don’t want yours burnt don’t broil or broil for less time

so let the bread cool for a few then slice it in strips and serve with extra sauce or as is

I served mine with salad as well and Jenn couldn’t WAIT To eat!

 

THE END!
