# Ingredients:
→ For the Pizza Bread
01 -
1 baguette or long bread loaf
02 -
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
03 -
1/2 cup pizza sauce (or tomato sauce)
04 -
1/2 cup pepperoni (or any toppings you like)
→ For the Garlic Butter
05 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
06 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
07 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano
08 -
1 teaspoon dried basil
09 -
Salt and pepper to taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (180°C).
02 -
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise so you have two long halves.
03 -
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, and basil. Spread this garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the bread.
04 -
Spread a layer of pizza sauce on each half of the bread, right over the garlic butter.
05 -
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over both halves. Add the pepperoni or any other toppings you like on top of the cheese.
06 -
Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly golden and bubbly.
07 -
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two, then slice into pieces and serve hot. This is perfect for sharing!
# Notes:
01 -
You can use any toppings you like - mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, sausage, or keep it simple with just cheese!
02 -
This is great for parties, game day, or as an easy weeknight dinner with a side salad.
03 -
If you like it extra crispy, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, but watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
04 -
Leftover pizza bread can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for best results.
