This photo only shows half the pizza, because my husband and I had already devoured the other half before I could get the camera! It's better than delivery pizza any day, and so much healthier.

Ingredients For french bread pizza

  • 1
    tube pillsbury french bread dough (next to the pizza crust roll in the cooler section.)
  • 8 oz
    96% lean ground beef (i find this at walmart - 4 gr fat per 4 oz serving)
  • 14 1/2 oz
    can of fire roasted tomatoes (drained and lightly squeezed dry)
  • 1 sm
    can of sliced mushrooms, drained very well
  • 1 c
    frozen pepper and onion blend
  • 1 jar
    ragu homestyle pizza sauce
  • 24 slice
    hormel turkey pepperoni
  • 3/4 c
    kraft fat free cheddar cheese - shredded
  • 3/4 c
    kraft 2% mozzarella cheese - shredded

How To Make french bread pizza

  • 1
    preheat oven to 400*. while oven is heating, start frying the ground beef and peppers/onions blend together.
  • 2
    while beef is browning, drain tomatoes and mushrooms, and open french bread tube.
  • 3
    spray a large cookie sheet with pan spray, and CAREFULLY find the edge of the bread roll (it looks like a "seam"). unroll the bread and lay it on your baking sheet. you may have to "patch a hole or two", or stretch the dough gently to fit your pan.
  • 4
    pour the pizza sauce over the dough, then start layering the ingredients, sprinkling the fire-roasted tomatoes, and mushrooms over the whole pizza evenly.
  • 5
    take the two shredded cheeses and pour them into a bowl together. mix them up with your hands, then top pizza (this seems to distribute the fat/nonfat cheese more evenly, and the melt on the pizza is good).
  • 6
    bake for 15 minutes and cut into 12 large pieces to enjoy! the count for this pizza per slice is: 165 calories, 3.5 grams fat, 19 grams total carbs! serve with a side salad and feel like you've splurged...
