Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette (or Italian bread)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 slices Pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves, optional for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise to create two long pieces.
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over both halves of the bread, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce-covered bread.
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese on both bread halves.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper evenly over the top.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each bread half.
Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and presentation.
Cut the pizza bread into slices for easy serving and enjoyment.
