French Bread Pizza recipe - quick and easy

We have our favorite Homemade Thin Crust Pizza. But, it does take a while to make. So, if I want something quick, we’ll do this French Bread Pizza. It’s quick and easy, and gives you everything you want from pizza.

So, you can imagine that we eat pizza pretty often around here. Here's a quick and easy answer for making your own pizza at home. #pizza #easy #recipe
Before Cooking: My veggie pizza on the left with thinly sliced red onions, chopped green onion, and Italian Herbs. Dan’s pepperoni pizza on the right.

I also like that we can customize our French Bread Pizza – Dan’s with pepperoni, and mine with veggies of some sort. We usually eat 1/4 of the loaf of French bread for dinner or lunch. Now, if you have more people or bigger eaters, feel to double this and get 4 pizzas. Just rotate the pizzas in the oven halfway through cooking if you have all 4 halves in there at once.

Slicing: be sure to use a serrated knife to cut the pizzas. And, I always have Dan cut mine first so that I don’t get pepperoni juices on mine.

**Store-bought Italian Herbs will work just fine, but I like to make my own Italian Herb blend. It’s easy and I just fill a jar to last us a nice long time.
