Quick and easy french bread pizza.

I like pizza. Delivery pizza is ok but going out to the restaurant and getting served right out of the oven is the best.

I came up with an easy way to have pizza anytime you want it.

1 large loaf of french bread.

5 cloves of minced garlic

4Tbs softened butter

4 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive oil

salt

pepper

1/2 medium onion sliced thin

One bell pepper sliced thin

One tomato sliced thin

1/2 Lb Shredded mozzerella

Preheat your oven on the broiler setting. Some ovens use 500 degrees some read HI

Take your bread and cut the loaf horizontally being careful to make the top and bottom pieces the same thickness. A bread knife is crucial to this step.

Lay the bread crust down on a sheet pan.

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top of the bread letting it soak in

Spread the butter over the top of each half.

Spread the minced garlic evenly

Broil the bread tops on full heat for about 2 or 3 minutes until bread toasts lightly. Don't walk off and be sure to watch it carefully

Remove from oven

Change oven setting to bake at 350

Add cheese then onions, bell pepper and tomato very lightly salt and pepper.

Put the pizza bread back in the oven for about 15 min or until the cheese melts completely over the top.

Remove from oven and let the two halves cool for about 5 min before slicing into 3 inch wide pieces.

Remember you can add just about anything you want as a pizza topping. However, unless you own a 600 degree pizza oven slice your vegetables and meats thinly so they will have time to cook.

The best thing about this recipe is that the pizza is just as good hot or room temp.
