I’ve been doing the best I can to keep our meals simple these days. These quick fix French bread pizzas have been a regular staple in our house since we’ve been keeping at home as much as possible.
Place the bread cut-side up on a large baking sheet.
Stir together the butter and garlic and brush onto the bread. Bake for 5 minutes.
Brush the top of the bread with marinara sauce. Less is more, so don't over-sauce.
Add your favorite toppings. Drier toppings (such as pepperoni slices and cooked, drained Italian sausage) are best. Pat your vegetables dry before adding.
Add cheese and sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bread starts to get golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from oven and let stand for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
