Ingredients:
- 1 French bread loaf from the deli (approx. $1)
- Butter
- Garlic powder
- Pizza sauce
- Shredded cheese (your choice)
- Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise.
- Spread a layer of butter on the cut sides of the bread and sprinkle with garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted. This step helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy when you add the toppings.
- Remove the bread from the oven and spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on each half.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the sauce. You can use mozzarella, cheddar, or your favorite cheese.
- Add your choice of pizza toppings. Get creative with pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or any other toppings you love.
- Place the topped bread halves back in the oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing.
