How To Make french bread pizza

• 1

  Set your oven to broil on low or medium. (Optional: A grill works great for this recipe too!)
• 2

  Line a baking sheet with tin foil. (If using a grill, simply lay the foil on the grill without a baking sheet)
• 3

  Slice the loaf of break in half long ways (like a hot dog bun). Spread the bread open and lay it out on the baking sheet.
• 4

  Spread olive oil over the inside and sprinkle with garlic powder. If you don't like the taste of olive oil, butter can be used instead. (My husband and I like the garlic flavor so I'm pretty generous, but do it to your flavor preferences).
• 5

  Place the baking sheet with the bread into the oven and allow it to become golden brown.
• 6

  Remove bread from oven and spread marinara over the bread. Layer on the pepperonis, and then the slices of provolone. I use all of them, you can use less. I prefer putting my toppings under the cheese but you can layer on top if you like. Provolone can be substituted for other cheeses, sliced or shredded. Most often I cook up some italian sausage and sprinkled this over the pepperoni before adding the cheese then slicing mushrooms on top. Sprinkling a little more garlic and italian seasonings is also a tasty touch.
• 7

  Put the bread back into the oven and let it broil until the cheese begins to bubble/brown.
• 8

  Remove from the oven and allow to set 10 or so minutes. Slice up and serve.
