Ingredients
Base Sauce:
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 French loaf, halved lengthwise
Fully Loaded Pizza:
1/3 cup marinara sauce
1 cup grated mozzarella
4 ounces pepperoni
1 green bell pepper, sliced into rings
1/3 cup prepared sausage crumbles
1/3 cup black olives
1/3 cup jarred jalapeno slices
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Garden Pesto Pizza:
1/2 cup ricotta
3 tablespoons prepared pesto
1 lemon, zested
1 small zucchini, sliced thin
1/2 cup jarred roasted pepper slices
4 asparagus spears, sliced into 1/2-inch segments
1 cup frozen roasted corn
1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
5 to 6 fresh basil leaves, torn
Directions
- For the base sauce: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Mix together the melted butter, Italian seasoning and garlic in a small bowl. Place the French bread on the prepared sheet pan cut-side up. Brush the butter mixture over the bread.
- For the fully loaded pizza: Spread the marinara sauce over one half of the French bread. Sprinkle over the mozzarella, then top with the pepperoni, green pepper, sausage crumbles, black olives and jalapenos.
- For the garden pesto pizza: Mix together the ricotta, pesto and lemon zest in a small bowl. Spread over the other half of the French bread. Lay on the zucchini slices, peppers, asparagus, corn and finally the goat cheese.
- Bake until the cheeses melt and become bubbly, 12 to 14 minutes. Garnish the fully loaded pizza with the Parmesan and the garden pesto pizza with the basil. Slice and serve.
