Fast French Bread Pizza

Ok, I know I am not the one who invented this idea, the I have been making these for years, its great for a night where I work until 5 at my day job and then have to be at my night job by 7:15, I can still "make" dinner and have it cleaned up before I have to leave, or if you have kids, its a fun way for them to make their dinner the way they like it.  I remember we would have make your own pizza night as kids, and I always loved being able to make it the way I liked it. Honestly this is so easy to make and they way I make it my own, is by making my own pizza sauce, you can always buy pizza sauce but I like being able to control the salt and spices that are in it.

Ingredients:

Pizza Sauce:
     1 8oz Can of Unsalted Tomato Sauce
     1/2 Tbsp. Dried Oregano
     1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
     1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
     1/4 tsp. Thyme
     1/4 tsp. Rosemary
     1/2 Tbsp. Parsley
     Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together.

Pizza:
     1 Loaf French Bread (I get mine from the grocery store bakery)
     Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
     Whatever Pizza Toppings you like

Directions:

1.  Cut the french bread in half and then slice it in half again lengthwise.
2.  Spoon sauce onto the open slices of bread.
3.  Put on the toppings of your choice (except for the cheese, unless that is all you want on your pizza)
4.  Top with preferred amount of cheese, make sure to not over top with cheese.
5.  Cook at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Tip: Personally I like a lot of seasoning in my sauce, feel free to lessen the amount of each seasoning to your/your family's liking.

This is such an easy dinner, it can be made cooked and eaten within 30 minutes to an hour, depending if you have help.  This is a dinner that is sure to please everyone, especially those who have to clean it up :)

ENJOY!
