Kids Love French Bread Pizza
Caleb takes after Josh in a lot of ways, especially in his love for pizza. Caleb asks for pizza every day of the week. It is currently his favorite food.
Caleb was begging for pizza last week so Josh told him he would make it for dinner if Caleb took a good nap. Caleb recently learned how to get out of his crib, so nap time has been interesting. Pizza was the magic word because Caleb slept like a baby!
How to Make French Bread Pizza
Josh surprised Caleb with a special pizza. He made French Bread Pizza!
- French bread pizza is so easy to make because you use store bought French bread as the pizza crust. You don’t have to make homemade pizza dough.
- To make the French bread pizza, sliced a loaf of French bread in half, lengthwise, and top it with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings.

We make pizza on all forms of bread around here too! French bread is very good, as is bagel! Kaylin still hasn’t climbed out of her crib…I’m thinking we may end up just switching her to a bed anyway
I am loving this easy pizza! I never make pizza at home due to the whole “having to make my own dough” thang…not fun. This is perfect for these I NEED PIZZA RIGHT NOW cravings…….every day of my life.

I was SUCH a sucker for those Stouffer French Bread pizzas growing up–even though part of it would inevitably always have freezer burn and be hard as a rock. It was the one frozen meal that I convinced my mom to get for me every once and a while.
This homemade version looks so good Maria!!
This looks great Maria & I love hope easy it is 🙂
I keep seeing these French bread pizzas and think how easy and delicious. Now if only I would just make one.
Love this idea! Pinned it for this weekend!
French Bread Pizza = win win! YUMMY <3 <3 ya
We are trying to get Asher out of his crib so Jacob can get in it. Wish us luck!!
A quick preparation with a tasty accomplishment is just the kind of things we need around here!
Just wondering, do you cook the sausage first?
Looks yummy!
Yes
try sub rolls in place of the french bread
We have been making these for years. We like to put sliced tomatoes on ours. It is also good on garlic bread.
Do you think stale French bread would be a good candidate for this? (Always have a chunk of that in the fridge 🙂
Yummy, what a great recipe. been looking for decent bread making recipe. Thanks for sharing.
