[Missourian]

1/3 Onion sauteed .20

You can add pepperoni, olives or whatever...but this is how I like mine.

Melt the butter and add garlic powder until garlicy .

Split the bread down the middle like you are making a sandwich, then cut the two pieces in half the short was to make 4 almost identical pieces, crust side down.

Use 2/3rds of the butter/garlic mixture to coat the exposed inside of the bread.

Toast under the broiler or in a toaster oven until lightly toasted. My toaster oven took 3 min at 375f.

Layer pizza sauce, mushrooms, onion, bacon bits, cheese, salt, Italian seasoning, and a little more of the butter/garlic mixture on top.

Back in the oven for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Let cool slightly and eat.

Well done. I used ro make mini pizzas on pita bread but your idea is even better. A deep dish pizza.

I'm growing basil garlic and thyme in my garden for my ultra fantabulous spaghetti sauce.

But it's the THYME that turns a spaghetti sauce into a pizza sauce!

It's a MUST!

The Wife and I are making pizza this weekend.
We usually use the premade crust.
But your ingredients sound great!!!

Yeah...me too!

I wasn't craving pizza 'till I saw those pictures!

Looks great! I love a good mushroom. The only difference I would have made is to keep the mushrooms and onions, but instead of the other toppings, add black or green olives and sliced jalapeno peppers!

I thought about buying one of those pizza ovens at Home Depot but I don't think I would use it enough... do any of you have one?...

Thanks.

I can't take credit for French Bread Pizza... It's been around for a while down here. This is just how I make it.

I thought seriously about building one, but like you, I just couldn't justify the expense.

What I may get or more likely fabricate is one of the pizza adapters for the Weber kettle grill.

Unless you are in commercial production or a total klutz, the average person can do well enough with a good broiler in a decent oven.

The Wife and I looked at getting a pizza oven but it was around $900 bucks.
We dont eat that much pizza so we decided against it. You can get the Kamado Joe attachment that they say works well.
For around $500 bucks which is reasonable.

Provolone?

Absolutely... a great example of how you can make better food at home than a restaurant. It just requires a simple willingness to do it.

Provolone?

It comes as a pre-shredded mix from Walmart...Great Value brand.

The GV mozzarella just didn't have the enough flavor by itself. The mozzarella provolone mix is just right. Kick up the flavor a little more by adding a sprinkle of shredded parmesan to top before it goes in the oven.


You'll have enough cheese and pizza sauce left over to make it again.
