Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian bread
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 16 slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the proper temperature for baking the bread evenly.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Slice the Italian bread loaf lengthwise, creating two long halves which will serve as the base of your pizza bread.
  3. Assemble the Pizza Bread: Spread pizza sauce generously on each half of the bread. Then, evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce. Follow by sprinkling the Italian seasoning over the cheese. Finally, arrange the pepperoni slices and sliced black olives on top for a classic pizza flavor combination.
  4. Bake: Place the assembled bread halves on a sheet pan and bake them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheeses have fully melted and the toppings are hot.
  5. Serve: Remove the pizza bread from the oven and serve hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute Italian seasoning with your favorite pizza herbs like oregano and basil.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit pepperoni and add more vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
  • Make sure to slice the bread lengthwise evenly for uniform baking.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture if available.
  • Leftover pizza bread tastes great reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
