1
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the stick of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

2
Prepare the Bread
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French bread in half lengthwise to create two long pieces. Place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
3
Spread Garlic Butter
Generously spread the prepared garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the French bread.
4
Add Marinara Sauce
Spread a layer of marinara sauce evenly over the garlic butter on each half of the bread.
5
Top with Mozzarella
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara sauce on both halves.

6
Bake the Pizza Bread
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

7
Cut and Serve
Remove the pizza bread from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
