Ingredients

For two Margherita pizzas:

  • 2 medium roma tomatoes - thinly sliced
  • 6 oz. fresh mozzarella
  • fresh basil

For two Hawaiian pizzas:

  • 4 oz. ham
  • 4 oz pineapple bits - strained from juice
  • 6 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese

For two Pepperoni pizzas:

  • 3 oz. mini pepperoni
  • 6 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Make a batch of our chewy french bread. Instead of two loafs, you'll need to make three smaller ones. Take the three loafs of bread and slice them in half length-wise. Lay them out on two large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    Tip: We occasionally remove some of the insides of the bread and focus on more toppings instead of bread.

Notes

Three Parts to French Bread Pizza

  2. Pizza Sauce From Scratch – THE sauce you don’t want to miss. It really is worth the extra little bit of time to make it.
  3. Toppings – Use any combo of ingredients for your toppings.
