It’s not pizza, but it’ll be ok!
1 large loaf French or Italian bread (at any grocery store) ($1-2)
1 14-oz jar pizza sauce ($2)
2 cups cheese (Italian + Cheddar is a good pizza blend, or whatever you have!) ($3.50)
½ package pepperoni ~3oz ($4)
- Preheat oven to 375F. Cover a large cookie sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
- Cut loaf of bread in half crosswise (to be able to open as you would for a sandwich or like a book etc).
- Spread pizza sauce on both sides of the bread (1/2 jar total is needed or more to taste)
- Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese on each half. Top with pepperoni and any other toppings you’d like.***
- Bake for 15 (***20 minutes if baked as one loaf) until cheese is melty and bubbly. Cut in 4 large “slices” and serve. Goes well with a nice garden salad for an easy lunch.
***IF you prefer a softer sandwich, only top one half with cheese and pepperoni, and put the other half on top of the loaf to bake. Wrap with aluminum foil as you would for garlic bread.
