French Bread Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread
• ¾ cup pizza sauce
• 2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 3 oz pepperoni (optional)
• ½ bell pepper (optional)
• ¼ onion (optional)
• ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise.
2. Place the bread halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, then add desired toppings like pepperoni, bell pepper, and onion.
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
6. If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to prevent burning.
7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with dried oregano if using, slice, and serve hot.
