    The Italian sausage cooks up quick, and adds a ton of flavor to the pizza. If you don’t like it so spicy use mild Italian sausage.

    French bread pizza ingredients

    • 8 ounces Italian Sausage (hot or mild), casings removed
    • 1 Loaf French Bread
    • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • ¾ cup Marinara Sauce
    • 6 ounces Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
    • 2 tablespoons White Onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons Black Olives, thinly sliced
    • ¼ teaspoon Dried Oregano
    • Pinch Garlic Powder
    • Preheat Oven 350°F

    Cook the sausage

    Remove the sausage from its casings. Using a sharp knife tip, run it along the sausage lengthwise. Remove the casing and tear the sausage into small pieces.

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage pieces to the skillet and cook 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Stir the sausage frequently while breaking up any large pieces. When it is done, remove it from the skillet and set on a plate that’s lined with a paper towel to drain.

    Make the French bread pizza

    • Slice the baguette in half, and then open each half by cutting it lengthwise. Brush each piece with the extra virgin olive oil.
    • Spoon on the marinara sauce and spread it evenly on all 4 pieces.
    • Add the mozzarella cheese but reserve some for the top.
    • Arrange the sausage, sliced onions and black olives on the pizzas and top with a little extra cheese. Sprinkle the top with the dried oregano and garlic powder.
    • Place the French bread pizza on a baking sheet that’s lined with a cooling rack (if you have one).
    • Bake the sausage French bread pizza until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasty. Approximately 20-25 minutes, check it after 15 minutes and gauge the remaining time from there.
