Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (24-inch by 4-inch) loaf of soft French bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons (½ stick) salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ - 2 cups marinara or pizza sauce (or more or less), to taste
12 ounces (about 3 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: 1-2 ounces sliced pepperoni or other toppings of choice

Steps:

  • Place rack in the upper-middle position in the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut the loaf of bread in half crosswise, and then cut each piece in half horizontally to make 4 equal pieces.
  • Place the bread cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the crust with the olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder and salt. Flip the bread cut-side up and brush the cut side with the melted butter mixture.
  • Bake the bread (cut-side up) until it's browned on the edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Spread sauce evenly on each piece of toasted bread. Top with mozzarella, then Parmesan, and finally the pepperoni or other optional toppings (in that order). Return to the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
  • Let the pizza rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf soft French or Italian bread (about 12 ounces), halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices bacon (about 6 ounces)
8 large eggs
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup prepared spicy mayonnaise, such as Sriracha or chipotle mayo
6 ounces mild Cheddar, shredded on the large holes of a box grater (about 1 1/2 cups)
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Cut each piece of bread in half crosswise, then place cut-side-up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the olive oil and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Broil until lightly toasted and browned at the edges, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy, turning as needed, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; discard any bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Whisk the eggs, half the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl, then add to the warm skillet. Cook, stirring with a heatproof silicone spatula, until the eggs are just set and form large, soft curds, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Spread the spicy mayonnaise evenly on top of the toasted bread, then sprinkle with about half of the Cheddar. Place 2 pieces of bacon on each pizza. Dividing evenly, top with the scrambled eggs and then the remaining cheese. Return to the broiler and cook until all the cheese has melted, about 1 minute. Top each pizza with the remaining scallion and serve with a few dashes of hot sauce.

FRENCH BREAD FREEZER PIZZA LOAF



French Bread Freezer Pizza Loaf image

This is one of the "orphan recipes" I came across on here. However, my mom used to make these when I was a kid. She'd buy a loaf of french bread, slice horizontally along the side, add the meat mixture and freeze it. With 5 kids in the house during the summer, she'd make a few of these for us to make while she'd be at work. Since...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
1 lb sausage
2 c cheese (your choice of cheese-shredded, or diced)
1/2 tsp oregano
2 Tbsp ketchup
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 loaf french or italian bread, sliced horizontally

Steps:

  • 1. Brown meat, then add the other ingredients.
  • 2. Spoon filling into loaf that has been sliced; if freezing, wrap in foil and put in plastic bag of later use.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. If frozen, bake for about 20 min or until bread is crispy and filling is heated through.
  • 4. **** This can be altered to use with pepperoni, veggies, and any type of cheese including velveta. My Dad hated velveta so my mom never made it that way. If adding other items, reduce meat to 1/2 lb. of each. **** In my picture, I sliced bread on top because of how the loaf was baked. It was presplit on top and would not have worked with split on side.
