Cheesy & Delicious French Bread Pizzas | Pit Boss Grills

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni is lower in fat, while salami is often cheaper.

fresh basil

🥗Healthier: dried basil

💰Cheaper: spinach

Dried basil is more shelf-stable, and spinach can add freshness.

Heat the pizza sauce in a pan for about 6-7 minutes until boiling, then turn it off and set it aside to warm.

Prepare melted butter mixed with garlic paste and cover the french bread with this mixture.

Toast the french bread on the griddle to start the cooking process and help melt the cheese, cooking for about 5-7 minutes.

Check the bread while cooking, adjusting the heat to low to ensure the cheese melts without burning the bread.

Spread pizza sauce on the toasted french bread according to personal preference.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Add pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, arranging them as desired.

Optionally, add pre-cooked crumbled bacon for extra flavor (not demonstrated in the video).

Steam the pizzas by using a water bottle to create steam around the bread while cooking.

Check the pizzas after a couple of minutes to see if the cheese has melted to your liking.
