INGREDIENTS

For the pizza:

- 1 large loaf French bread, sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

For the sauce:

- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 15-oz can tomato sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

For the pizza:

- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Place the two halves of French bread cut side up on a parchment-lined baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and Italian seasoning. Place the bread in the preheated oven and until it is toasted, 6-8 minutes. Once toasted, remove the bread from the oven.

- Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on the two halves of the bread. Return the bread to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 4-6 minutes. Once the cheese is melted, remove the bread from the oven.

- Spread half of the prepared sauce (recipe below) on each half of the bread. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese.

- Place the pizzas in the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 8-12 minutes. Once the pizzas are baked, remove them from the oven and cool them for 10 minutes. Slice the pizzas into pieces and serve.

For the sauce:

- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the onion and bell pepper. Sprinkle with salt and sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, 4-6 minutes. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning to the onion and peppers and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the sausage and break it into small pieces until it is browned, 6-8 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer on low to combine the flavors, 4-6 minutes.
