Garlic French Bread Pizza

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Use a serrated knife to slice 1 loaf French bread in half lengthwise. Place cut sides up on a large baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, use a fork to combine 1/2 cup salted butter, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. Mix until smooth.

Spread the butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 5 minutes, or until the surface is lightly browned.

Remove from oven and spread 1 1/2 to 2 cups pizza sauce evenly over both halves of the bread.

Top with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. Add 4 ounces pepperoni slices or other toppings as desired.

Return to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.

Let cool slightly. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
