Pizza is a popular American food, but ordering pizza gets expensive when you order often, and pizzas that you buy at the grocery store are anything but healthy. Instead of ordering out next time, make an easy French bread pizza at home using ingredients that you have on hand. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make it as healthy as you like, by controlling the amount of cheese, meat and vegetables that you add.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • French bread
  • Spaghetti sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Meat
  • Vegetables
  • Cookie sheet
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Slice a loaf of French bread lengthwise. Lay the two halves on a cookie sheet with the sliced side facing up. Brush the top of the French bread with olive oil.

  3. Step 3

    Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce over the top of the French bread. Leave half an inch of bread uncovered around the edges for a crispier crust.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle an even layer of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. You can add other types of cheese if you like. Cheese spreads as it melts, so leave some room between the cheese and the edge of the bread.

  5. Step 5

    Add your choice of meat to the pizza. You can use pepperoni, Canadian bacon, cooked sausage, cooked beef, bacon or chicken.

  6. Step 6

    Layer on the vegetables. Add onions, green peppers, jalapeƱos, mushrooms, black olives, green olives or anything else you can think of.

  7. Step 7

    Bake the pizza for 15 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown. Remove the cookie sheet carefully from the oven and allow to cool before slicing.
