Steps:
- For the pizza base: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lay the rolls cut-side up on a large baking sheet. Top each half with marinara sauce (or pesto for the tomato basil pizzas), followed by the mozzarella. Then add your toppings of choice. See below for directions for assembling specific pizzas.
- Once the pizzas are assembled, put the baking sheet on the lowest rack for 8 to 10 minutes. Then turn up the heat to 425 degrees F and put the sheet on the highest rack until the cheese starts to bubble a bit and turns golden. Remove and serve immediately! Cut the pizzas in half right across the middle so there are mini French bread pizzas for everyone.

PEPPERONI LOVER'S FRENCH BREAD PIZZA
An easy no-cook sauce works as a tangy base for pizzas of all kinds. Draining the tomatoes before seasoning ensures the sauce won't create any soggy bottoms, no matter what type of crust you build your pizza on. Use an equal amount of crushed or whole peeled tomatoes instead of diced if that's what you have on hand. Just use your hands to break whole tomatoes up a bit (and drain off any additional liquid). The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for about 5 days. But feel free to use your favorite jarred marinara in its place. Leftover pizza reheats beautifully in a 350-degree oven until warmed through.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Combine tomatoes, garlic, salt, oregano, olive oil and black pepper in a medium bowl, and stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
- Prepare the pizza: Combine the 1/4 cup olive oil and garlic in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the garlic starts to sizzle, but doesn't brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place the French bread cut side up on a baking sheet. Brush cut sides with garlic oil. Bake until edges are golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Toss together the mozzarella, Parmesan and pepperoni in a medium bowl. Divide tomato sauce between the two bread halves all the way to the edges and top with pepperoni and cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake until melted, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to broil and broil (watch carefully!) until the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve topped with more Parmesan, red-pepper flakes and oregano, if you like.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A good French baguette or ciabatta is ideal for this recipe. Make sure the bread is fresh and crusty.
- Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings. Get creative and use your favorite vegetables, cheeses, and meats.
- Don't overcrowd the bread: When adding toppings, be sure to leave some space between them so that they cook evenly.
- Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the toppings to set and prevent them from falling off.
Conclusion:
French bread pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its crispy crust, melted cheese, and variety of toppings, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
