French Bread Pizza

Ingredients

  • French bread loaf, whole wheat
  • 2 1/2 cups pizza or pasta sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • Choice of toppings:
  • Onion, chopped
  • Bell peppers, chopped
  • Mushrooms, sliced
  • Tomatoes, sliced
  • Pineapple tidbits
  • Olives, pitted and sliced
  • Zucchini, thinly sliced
  • Garlic, thinly sliced raw or roasted
  • Herbs, fresh (oregano, basil)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Veggie or regular meats (cooked)
  • Cheese, shredded (variety)
  • Parmesan cheese
  • And more!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil.
  2. Slice loaf of bread lengthwise in half. Place cut side up on a baking sheet.
  3. Spread the sauce evenly over the bread, leaving about 1/2 inch border without sauce.
  4. Sprinkle cheese over sauce.
  5. Layer and arrange your choice of toppings over the cheese. Place the large items first and then the smaller ones.
  6. Bake about 10 - 14 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly (vegan cheese won’t get bubbly).
  7. Allow to cool a bit. Cut and serve.

Notes

Use more or less sauce and toppings as desired. Your pizza will be as healthy as your toppings are.

Adjust the ingredients to your taste.

For extra crispy bread, lightly toast the bread for about 5 minutes. Then top and cook as directed.

You can also cook this pizza in a toaster oven at 400 degrees. Cut the French bread in half and then lengthwise in half. You will have 4 pieces of bread instead of 2. Top bread with sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake on a foil lined toaster oven baking sheet or place directly on rack. Bake one or two at a time as you have room in the oven.
