Servings: 2 pizzas
Calories: 684kcal
Ingredients
- 1 loaf french bread cut in half, lengthwise
- 8 oz cream cheese softened and divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder divided
- ½ cup marinara pizza sauce, or pasta sauce, divided
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- toppings as desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Using a serrated knife, cut french bread in half, lengthwise. Try to cut it so it is even on both sides so each side bakes at the same time.
- French bread has a lot of bread inside, which will make your pizza a bit bland. I find pizza is the most flavorful - and easier to eat - when removing a bit of bread from the middle. Simply scoop out a bit of bread with your hands. My kids love to eat the bread from the middle!
- Spread softened cream cheese, and sprinkle garlic powder over each side of bread.
- Layer sauce over cream cheese that has been seasoned with garlic powder, then top with mozzarella.
- Take pizza to the next level with your favorite toppings! Add whatever you like, and load it up!
- Bake pizza until cheese is bubbly, hot, and lightly browned about 10 minutes.
- Let cool slightly before cutting each pizza into two slices.
