30 Minute French Bread Pizza

These 30 Minute French Bread Pizzas are one of those recipes that I pull out on nights when I don’t really want to cook dinner. It’s really easy to make and since everyone can customize their own it’s a definite crowd pleaser.

I love pizza. I’m not kidding. I could eat it at least once a week and never grow tired of it. Recently I was having a conversation with my Mom about a local pizza place that we go to  a lot. She laughed and said my Grandpa once said I’d probably sweat tomato sauce.

It’s sad to say that almost 40 years later nothing has changed. I still love any food you make with marinara sauce. But pizza holds a special place in my heart. It just might be the perfect food.

To make this I used my 15 minute Marinara Sauce. Sometimes I use purchased jarred sauce. Especially when I don’t have time or I just don’t want to (gasp!) make the sauce. So if you don’t make your own sauce I won’t judge you. Nope not all. We all have days where it’s all we can do to make to dinnertime much less throw together a gourmet meal or take extra time to make sauce.

One of the things I like about this recipe is how easy it is to customize to everyone’s preferences. My husband loves to add jalapeños and I don’t care for the extra spice. Sometimes we’ll make this with pepperoni and mushrooms. I’ve even made these pizzas with extra cheese like cheddar or Monterrey Jack. It really is up to you. No matter what you decide this is great dinner idea for a busy night or a family movie night.

    I’m almost embraced to admit that we had pizza tonight. The temperature here was through the roof and we decided to grab a pizza for and then come home and soak up the a/c. Thanks for stopping by and pinning my recipe!
