French Bread Pizza Delight
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of $1 French bread (available at Walmart)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite pizza cheese)
- Assorted toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Prepare the French bread:
- Take the $1 French bread and cut it in half horizontally, creating two equal-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the sauce:
- Spoon the pizza sauce evenly over the cut sides of the French bread, spreading it out to the edges.
- Cheese it up:
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce, covering the bread evenly.
- Toppings galore:
- Let each person customize their own French bread pizza by adding their favorite toppings. Arrange the toppings evenly across the cheese.
- Bake to perfection:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the French bread are golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Carefully remove the French bread pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Slice them into individual portions and serve hot.
- Get creative:
- Encourage your boys to get creative with their toppings. Maybe they want to mix and match different ingredients or come up with unique flavor combinations. This is a fun and interactive way to involve everyone in the cooking process.
- Optional: Dipping sauce:
- Serve with a side of marinara or garlic dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
