Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |

| French bread | 1 loaf (approx. 1$) |
| Pizza sauce | As needed |
| Cheese | As needed |
| Toppings (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, etc.) | As desired |
| Olive oil or cooking spray | As needed |
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Set the oven to 475°F (245°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
- Prepare the French bread: Take the French bread loaf and cut it in half lengthwise, creating two equal halves.
- Spread pizza sauce: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the cut side of each half of the French bread.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle cheese generously over the pizza sauce. You can use your favorite type of cheese, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend.
- Top with desired toppings: Add your desired toppings on top of the cheese layer. This can include pepperoni, cooked sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, or any other toppings you enjoy on pizza.
- Drizzle with olive oil: Optionally, drizzle a little olive oil over the toppings to help them cook and add flavor.
- Bake: Carefully transfer the prepared French bread pizzas onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the French bread pizzas for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
- Serve: Once done, remove the French bread pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Then, slice them into individual portions and serve hot.
