French Bread Pizzas (copycat Red Baron)
This French bread pizza recipe is a copycat version of Red Baron's frozen pizza. It's easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread, 10-inch loaf
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 6 ounces pizza sauce, 1 small jar, store leftover sauce covered in the refrigerator
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, split among 4 pizzas
- 10 slices pepperoni, cut into quarters, split among 4 pizzas
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, sprinkled over 4 pizzas
- 2 teaspoons oregano, about 1/2 teaspoon per pizza
- salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
- red pepper flakes, as garnish
Equipment
- 1 baking tray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise, then in half again widthwise. You should have 4 pieces.
- Next, in a small bowl combine the oil, garlic paste and a few cracks of fresh black pepper. Brush a light coating of the garlic infused oil over the inside of French bread.
- Next, you’ll add the pizza sauce. I used about 1.5 ounces per piece. Top with shredded mozzarella, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Add the quartered pepperoni or any toppings you desire.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is extra melty on top. Keep a close eye on the pizzas when you broil to prevent them from burning.
- Serve with parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Enjoy while they are hot!
