📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2
Slice French bread in half lengthwise. Press the bread down firmly using your hand or another baking sheet to make it less airy, and more compact. You don’t need to flatten in, you just want to deflate it a little so it doesn’t get as mushy when baking.
3
In a medium, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley together. Stir to combine. Brush the melted butter evenly on top of the bread.

4
Place the bread on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven for ⏱️ 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
5
Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese on each half. This helps prevent the sauce from absorbing into the bread, causing it to get soggy. Top the cheese on each half with tomato sauce, spreading to coat. Then sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top of the sauce. Add on the pepperoni (as much or as little as you prefer), and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning onto each half.

Place the pizzas in the oven for 11 – ⏱️ 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and lightly browned.
