Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Using a serrated bread knife, slice a fresh loaf of French bread in half crosswise. Then slice each half in half lengthwise, to make 4 flat bases for your pizzas. Don’t slice your bread until ready to make your pizzas so it doesn’t dry out.
- Spread soft butter over your bread. Sprinkle your bread with granulated garlic, (or an Italian herb blend.) Toast this for 5 minutes in a hot 400F oven. This step is important. Toasting the bread will provide a barrier to the pizza sauce to prevent sogginess. Alternatively you can scrape the cut side of a garlic clove across the toasted bread for a nice hint of garlic.
- Spread sauce across the tops of your bread. Don't add too much, just a thin layer. You can skip this if you like.
- Add lots of cheese to the bread. I like to mound it up because it will shrink down as it melts.
- Now place your toppings on the cheese, press them in slightly so they don't fall off.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes at 400F. We’re just looking to get everything nice and bubbly and browned.
- Slice and serve!
