Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Slice the French Bread

    Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two long halves.

  3. 3

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Lightly brush the cut sides of the French bread with olive oil to help it crisp up.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread Marinara Sauce

    Evenly spread 1 cup of marinara sauce over the cut sides of the French bread.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by 1 cup of pepperoni slices. Add dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the assembled French bread pizzas on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

  2. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing into pieces. Serve warm.
