BETTER THAN FROZEN FRENCH BREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Spoon spaghetti sauce over sliced bread or rolls.
• Top with mushrooms and green peppers.
• Sprinkle with oregano and cheeses.
• Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

PESTO AND MOZZARELLA FRENCH BREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Make the pesto: Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Combine basil, 1 garlic clove and pine nuts in a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. With the machine running, stream in the olive oil. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add Parmesan and salt, and pulse to combine.
• Prepare the pizza: Combine the 1/4 cup olive oil and grated garlic in a small pot over medium. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the garlic starts to sizzle (but doesn't begin to brown), 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place the French bread cut side up on a baking sheet. Brush cut sides with garlic oil. Bake until edges are golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Spread the pesto over the two halves all the way to the edges and top with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is evenly melted, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to broil and broil (watch carefully!) until the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with red-pepper flakes, oregano and more Parmesan, if you like.

PEPPERONI FRENCH BREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place bread halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Pull out some of soft bread centers to make loaves slightly concave. Spread each half with 1/2 cup of pasta sauce. Arrange mushrooms over sauce; sprinkle with pepperoni. Top with mozzarella; sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper. Spoon remaining pasta sauce over tops.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cut on angle into slices. Serve hot.
