Sick and tired of the same old pizza, week after week? Step it up a notch with this crusty and delicious Homemade French Bread Pizza. Ready in less than an hour!

As you know we love pizza around here and I often try to make a variety of different kinds so that no one gets sick of eating it. Homemade French Bread Pizza is a favorite of mine and my girls.

The husband doesn’t love it quite as much as our usual Homemade Pizza, but he eats it, anyway. Takeout Pizza in Vermont is well, not pizza.

At least it’s nothing like our amazingly delicious New York pizza from back home. We used to get takeout pizza A LOT.

You just can’t beat that stuff, it’s like heaven on a plate and man, do I miss it.

If there is anything I miss from back home, (besides family) it is by far the food.

New York is a melting pot of delicious international foods that you just can’t get anywhere else. It’s a good thing I like to cook and try out new recipes!

So, whenever we have a hankering for pizza, I’ve got to make it at home. And, I’ve been doing it often…like just about every Friday.

Not to worry – regular pizza is not on my dinner menu every Friday (although that would be awesome), I’ve been making a variety of different types of pizza or pizza-like meals, such as Chicken Alfredo Pizza, Homemade Calzones and this Homemade French Bread Pizza.

In reality, French Bread Pizza is really simple to make. You can make it even easier and buy pre-made French Bread Pizza or if you really wanted to, you could buy the french bread, slop some jarred pizza sauce on it, sprinkle it with some cheese and bake.

It really can be that easy.

But, you know me…I never take the pre-made way out. Instead, I make it from scratch.

It might take a little bit longer, but, it tastes so much better! Plus, it’s healthier for the family.

Give it a try – you’ll never buy the store-bought version again, I promise.
