Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Open and spread butter evenly over the bread. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the bread. Bake for 7-8 minutes until butter is melted and bread is lightly golden.
1 loaf French bread, ¼ cup butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Remove from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly over the top. Add cheese and slices of pepperoni or desired toppings.
1 cup pizza sauce, 1 ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, Pepperoni
Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove and slice to serve.
Notes
Slice each piece in half (to make 4 pieces) to serve as a main dish. Or slice into small pieces to serve as an appetizer.
Use any pizza toppings you like (vegetables, sausage, cheese, etc.)
You can use regular or mini pepperoni slices. I had mini slices left over from my Pizza Dip and Pizza Monkey Bread!
