What’s better on a Tuesday night than good ol’ pizza? Especially a French bread pizza that can be made in an instant, with minimal muss or fuss?
Tonight was a Women’s World Cup night, you see, and as I type this the U.S.-Germany game is at halftime, so I must be brief. Tonight’s meal prep also needed to be brief so I could get everything in order to watch the game, and French bread pizzas were just the ticket!
I’ve gone over this recipe before on the blog, but suffice it to say, I sliced a loaf of French bread in half crosswise, then did so again lengthwise so that there were four pizza crusts in the end. Then I spooned pizza sauce liberally atop each one and sprinkled Daiya mozzarella to coat. Then I added several Tofurky pepperoni slices as well as some sliced button mushrooms to the crusts, and then sprinkled just a touch more mozzarella on top just to keep the toppings in place. Then I baked the pizzas at 450 degrees for about 15 minutes, and voila!
As the pizzas baked, I tossed a quick salad (romaine, cherry tomatoes, fresh broccoli florets, leftover sliced mushrooms, and some mozzarella, just to name a few ingredients) and by the time the pizzas were done we were more than ready to eat! We washed our meals down with a beer – because it’s a World Cup night, so why not? And then we plunked down to watch the beginning of the game, which has been rather unruly thus far!
… and speaking of the game, it’s about to come back on. Gotta go! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
