Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf French Bread (about 1lb, 20–21 inches long)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 ½ cups pizza sauce
- 2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (see notes)
- 25 pepperoni slices (or toppings of choice)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, then cut each slice in half. Place on top of a large, light-colored baking sheet.
- Add the olive oil to a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, garlic, oregano, and salt and heat through for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously. Decrease heat slightly if needed. Remove from heat.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the top of each slice with the olive oil/butter mixture (be sure to get the edges), and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 6-7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni or topping(s) of choice.
- Return to the oven and bake for 10-13 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are brown and crisp.
- If desired, broil at 450° F for 1 minute or so to brown the top a little more, watch it closely during this time.
- Slice and serve warm!
Notes
- For a cheesier option, add more mozzarella cheese as desired.
