Baguette-Style Pizza

Baguette-Style Pizza pairs a crisp, crackly crust with a gooey, cheesy center for that fresh-from-the-oven pizzeria vibe. Pre-toasting keeps the bread sturdy under rich sauce and melty mozzarella, while your favorite toppings add savory depth and texture. Serve for a quick weeknight dinner, casual game night, or a fun build-your-own lunch.

Baguette-Style Pizza
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup, and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Using a serrated knife, cut the French bread in half, then slice each half lengthwise to make 4 pizzas. Lightly brush the cut sides of the bread with olive oil and place them on the baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove from the oven; spread pizza sauce over each piece of bread, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Add your favorite toppings, pressing them in slightly to help them stick.

  5. 5

    Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 10 to 13 minutes. Serve immediately.
