Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 oz French bread, split lengthwise
- 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2.25 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
- 6 oz pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment.
- Arrange the split bread cut side up. Brush with olive oil, then rub or spread on the minced garlic.
- Season the bread lightly with salt and black pepper, then toast for 5 minutes to crisp the surface.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the toasted bread, reaching the edges for coverage.
- Top with mozzarella, layer on the pepperoni, and sprinkle Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
- Bake until cheese is melted and edges are golden, about 7–9 minutes. Broil 1 minute for extra browning if desired.
- Rest 2 minutes, shower with fresh basil, then slice and serve hot.
Notes
Variation: Add thinly sliced bell peppers or red onion under the cheese for a veggie boost. Try a drizzle of hot honey or garlic butter after baking for a sweet-heat or extra-savory finish. Leftovers reheat best in a 375°F oven or toaster oven for 6–8 minutes to re-crisp.
