French Bread Pizza
He decided to make French Bread Pizza. This has to be the easiest meal ever! We bought a loaf of french bread from our local market. I recommend buying a big fat loaf instead of a little french baguette. The baguettes are a little too crusty and chewy for pizza!
We cut the loaf in half lengthwise and then into four portions. We tore some of the bread out of the middle so the pizza wouldn’t be too bready! Then we toasted them under the broiler for a couple of minutes. While the bread was still warm, we took a fresh garlic clove and rubbed the bread down. I love this trick. It really add
s a lot of garlic flavor.
Luckily, we had leftover homemade pizza sauce in the freezer, so we used that for the first layer. Josh piled on the pepperoni for his pizza, but I stuck with lots of fresh veggies. We topped the bread with some mozzarella cheese too!! We baked them in the oven for about 15 minutes!
I actually liked this meal. It was quick and easy…and I liked the nice crunch of the bread. It was fun trying a different type of pizza!

2. Place the bread on a cookie sheet and put it under the broiler for about 4-5 minutes.
3. Take the garlic clove and rub it all over the bread. This will add a nice garlic flavor.
4. Spread your sauce on all four pieces of bread.

Wow, those pizzas look so good!
I really, really want to go to Hawaii. But if I had to pick a vacation place I’ve been to, I’d say Florida. I really like tropical places
Your pizzas look soo good. I love how much fresh veggie you pile on your pizza. ahh.
My favorite travel destination will be…. AUSTRALIA!
85 degrees right now… and the beaches… and diverse food… yes! Australia!
I can actually say I don’t destroy french bread pizza and chicken noodle soup…I feel like a pro now!
My favorite vacation spot is Bear Lake. Boring I know but it reminds me of my grandparents because they have beach front property up there and I spent every summer growing up getting fried on the beach.
Your Pizzas look great! I have never made pizza this way and I definitely want to try.
I have never been too Greece, but I have built it up in my head to be my favorite vacation spot.
My favorite vacation spot is Springdale, UT….a small little town outside of Zion National Park. I grew up visiting my grandparents there when I was little. It was the perfect spot for kids to explore, have adventures, enjoy the simple life, and have fun. Zion is full of beauty and fun family hikes. I can’t wait for my kids to love it as much as I do!

anywhere there is mountains and a lake
like my grandparents camp in the adirondacks… but maybe i should say cabo san lucas…
Ooooh! I have everything I need for these pizzas — I think I know what’s for dinner tonight!
Hawaii is probably my favorite vacation spot. When I went, I thought “how much better can this be that some of the other amazing tropical places we’ve been?” But it was — there is just something magical about the place.
I’m going to keep this in mind next time I need a quick meal. I love Grand Cayman!
OOH! Pick me, please! That bag would be perfect for me to use to pick up my co-op produce basket! I LOVE this meal, but never thought to rub garlic on it! And I will also pull out some bread in the middle next time! Good suggestion! My favorite vacation spot is Tahiti, hands down! We went there for our honeymoon and are dying to go back for our 10th anniversary…2 more years! Time to save up!
) I love this blog! Keep up the good work!
Fun pizza idea when you don’t feel like making dough! My fav vacation spot would have to be Las Ventanas in Cabo, Mexico. It is the most amazing resort where they wait on you hand and foot. It’s a splurge, but totally worth it! Hubby and I have traveled to lots of amazing places, but this resort is the best for relaxation.
Love the pizzas!!
Cute cute bag.
My fav vaca spot…The Smoky Mountains
amazing pizza!!!!!!! delicioso!!
fav. vacation spot? anywhere with my family!
That is a really cute bag. I would have to say my fave vacation spot is the beach. Probably in Florida, but Georgia has got some great spots too. Oh, now I am totally missing the fact that we used to live by a beach!
I love the idea of French Bread Pizza. I don’t know anyone who gets sick of pizza in my family.
Your pizza looks fantastic, and easy!!
So far, my favorite vacation spot is Rosemary Beach, FL.
Mmm, those pizzas look delicious! At my apt, we never tire of pizza either! It’s so funny: my pizza would be the one with veggies on it, just like yours. But Todd would totally be the pepperoni guy. Is this a guy/girl thing?
As for my favorite vacation spot: when I was little, we used to go to Hilton Head, SC, and I always loved it (super easy get away). However, if I want a super awesome vacation, I’d have to say London. I love everything about that city!
I heart Sedona, AZ… the red rocks look like castles to me. And they feel so old and wise. I love the energy of the whole area!
We are so going to make these pizzas!!
YUM. Way to go Josh. Both of your pizzas looked good!
Tahoe! baby.
I was planning on making pizza tonight! Thanks for the great idea!
At this moment, I would like to go anywhere warmer than Utah. It’s too cold here. Two month vacation? Yes please.
My favorite vacation spot is The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina…Hubby and I go every year and take our motorcycle and the scenery is always gorgeous, no matter what time of year it is….

I don’t have an actual favorite vacation “spot” per say… but my favorite vacation to take is a cruise! I love to go on cruises because you don’t vacation in just one spot, you get to go to numerous spots.
Love the pizzas on French bread! My favorite vacation ever was on this tiny Caribbean island of Mustique. I would love to go back there some day!
Oh, those pizzas look like heaven! Right now my favorite vacation spot it Jackson Hole. We go there all the time and it is definitely our home away from home!
You’re right, quick very tasty meal!
Favorite vacation spot St. Kitts hands down! Great giveaway!
Lets be honest anywhere it is hot especially during the cold winter months! But I love Hawaii!
You’re right, quick very tasty meal!
Favorite vacation spot St. Kitts hands down! Great giveaway!
I love your website and read it almost every day. My favorite vacation spot would be St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands!
your pizza is making me wicked hungry… time to go make some lunch! As for your giveaway, so cute! My favorite vacation spot is the Adirondacks NY, love it up there!
The pizzas look fab, I am making them tonight.
Best Vacation,BTW…
Gualala, California, hands down! No T.V. reception, No cell phone reception, Beautiful Ocean views, Redwood Trees to DIE for, and lots of time to COOK delicious meals for loved ones!
My favorite vacation spot is any city on California Highway 1. I also adore visiting National Parks, what a great treasure!
Favorite place to vacation? Italy. Haven’t been back in 12 years but am counting the days until I can go again!
Yum. That pizza looks delicious. I’ve never had pizza with zucchini before, but I’m excited to try it now!
My favorite place to vacation is San Francisco. I love big cities and there is always something to do in San Francisco!
Thanks for reminding me how much I love French bread pizza. They both look delicious!
The zucchini squash pizza looks like the perfect combo of healthy and delicious!
My favorite vacation spot is one I’ve never been to…
I’ll take anywhere on a beach with a frozen drink and a slice of your french bread pizza!
My favorite vacation spot has to be my bed…with a good book, a good movie and all the chocolate I can dream of. I know it's lousy, but I love my time alone to do whatever I want (as in watching movies and eating m&m's) no mommy or wife duties.
That’s a great idea! My three would get to make their pizza how ever they like it, no complaints. I bet it would work well with day old bread too as you’re baking it anyway.
Sanibel Island is one of my fave vacations spots.

Excellent pizzas. I remember when I was in grade school/middle school it became the in thing to make pizzas out of everything. French bread pizza was big. So were english muffin pizzas.
My favorite vacation destination is Chincoteague Island in Virgina. Sure I’ve been to more exotic places and more sophisticated places, but nothing compares to Chincoteague in terms of a relaxing vacation. You’re there for a day and you forget what stress is. The natives are friendly. The endless stretches of blue water are beautiful. The beaches of Assateague are unspoiled. For the shoppers there are all kinds of artists and artisan shops to choose from. For the outdoor enthusiasts there is biking, walking, swimming, kayaking and canoeing, and some of the best bird watching imaginable.
Best of all are the ponies. Watching the wild ponies swim the channel every summer never gets old for me. I’m like a little kid at Pony Penning time. I’m happy I have a little piece of Chincoteague (my pony Riddle) at home.
I really want to make the pizza now, it looks so yummy.
My favorite vacation spot is actually my aunt and uncles house. They own a large piece of property in Norther California (near Redding) and it is so much fun. The beauty of the mountains and all of the wildlife. There are tons of great hikes around there.
Like your quick pizzas! Vacation. What’s vacation? haha
