Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread or baguette
- 1 cup Marinara or pizza sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread lengthwise into two halves and place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Brush the cut sides of the bread lightly with olive oil to create a crispy and golden base.
Spread an even layer of marinara or pizza sauce over the top of each bread half.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, ensuring full coverage.
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese. Feel free to add more or less pepperoni based on your preference.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes over the top of the toppings to enhance the flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Once baked, remove the pizzabread from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of fresh flavor.
Slice the pizzabread into smaller portions and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade pizzabread!
