Ingredients

• 2 loaves French bread
• 2 cups Pizza sauce
• 4 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Pepperoni slices
• 1 cup Bell peppers, diced
• 0.5 cup Black olives, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the French bread loaves in half lengthwise, then cut each half into individual serving-sized pieces, resulting in about 8 pieces total.

Step 3

Brush the cut sides of the bread lightly with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 4

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast it.

Step 5

While the bread is toasting, prepare the toppings. If using fresh vegetables like bell peppers, dice them. Slice olives if not pre-sliced.

Step 6

Remove the bread from the oven and spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each piece.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.

Step 8

Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni slices, diced bell peppers, and sliced black olives.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning and garlic powder over each pizza to enhance the flavor.

Step 10

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

If making pizzas ahead for freezing, stop after assembling the pizzas. Do not bake. Instead, place the pizzas on a tray and freeze until solid, then store them in freezer-safe bags or containers.

Step 12

To cook from frozen, bake in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade French bread pizzas!
