Homemade French bread pizza is the perfect quick meal that fills the bellies for just a few dollars and very little preparation time or clean up.
To make this, you will need:
- 1 Loaf of French Bread
- Your favorite red sauce
- Olive oil
- 1 Pound of Mozzarella Cheese
- Leftovers (optional)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Slice the french bread length wise down the center, place on a large baking sheet and drizzle a little bit of olive oil over each half and then put it in the oven for about 3-4 minutes. Add the sauce to your own taste...we like lots of sauce, others do not. Cover both halves with mozzarella cheese. It really doesn't matter if you use shredded mozzarella or a block of it, if you are using a block you don't even have to shred it before hand, just slice it up and toss it on top.
If you have any left over chicken, cube it up and toss it on top. Got a few left over burgers, break them apart and toss them on. Slice up some veggies, some garlic or leave it plain. It is all up to you. Add what you love and forget the rest. You can make one half all meat and the other half all veggies. It is so easy to make every one happy with this pizza!
Toss it in the preheated 450 degree oven on a baking sheet for about 11-13 minutes and its done. Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes, slice and serve.
I love to make this for movie night or family game night. It is quick and easy and for less than $5.00 everyone is happy and full. It is so filling that it will feed our 4 boys (all 8 and under) 2 adults and we usually have a few pieces left over for tomorrow. A much better deal than the 3 pizzas at $7.00 each that we have to buy in order to feed our family!
This is also a great meal to make with the kids. It is as simple as spreading out some sauce, tossing on some cheese and looking through the fridge for extra toppings.
Enjoy!

I love bread with about everything. Thank you so much for a awesome recipe
ReplyDeleteA perfect, quick recipe. My kids would love these.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! Our local grocery store sells the best french bread for less than $2.00 a loaf. Hot and straight from the oven. They even have whole wheat! I'll give this a try.
