While it isn’t technically necessary to add the melted butter with garlic and parsley, it adds so much extra flavor. It also softens up the bread and makes it more enjoyable. I’ve tried it both ways and the garlic butter wins hands down. If you love bread recipes be sure check out this cheesy bacon pull apart bread.

Any of your favorite toppings go on next. We love Italian sausage but I skipped that since cooking it would have been an extra step I didn’t want. If you stick with precooked meats like pepperoni and Canadian bacon, you can save a lot of time.  These french bread pizzas can be put together in the time it takes for your oven to preheat.

    I bought a French baguette bread at Panera’s today, cut it in half and tried your recipe for pizza. The only thing I changed was the butter spread to olive oil with garlic and parsley. Topped with everything and, boy oh boy, what a delicious pizza we had tonight. As far as cheese goes, I’m Italian, so much of everything I eat has or is garnished with cheese. Thanks for the recipe!
