French Bread Quick Pizza Recipe | Homemade Mini Veggie Pizza

Pizza lovers!!

Are you in mood of pizza and ran out of yeast? Is your child demanding pizza and dinner is about to be served in no time? Don't worry, I got you covered. All you need is cheese, marinara sauce, french bread (or some sort of toast or bread) and seasoning and toppings of your choice. I thought of this recipe when my son demanded pizza and I forgot to prepare dough in advance. I quickly glanced through my kitchen and spotted this french bread lying on the counter top and knew exactly what to do.

Food lovers, this is a super quick (approx. 8-10 min) pizza recipe, also you get to enjoy french bread differently unlike the traditional way. Let's get ready for the quick bite.

Tips: 

• Oregano brings an earthy and sweet aroma, which adds up to the flavor in pizza sauce (tomato sauce).
• Basil brings freshness to your pizza. If you have fresh basil, oregano and carrot leaves growing in your garden, do use that in pizza, instead of dried leaves. 
• If you don't have french bread, you can try this recipe with garlic bread or toast or the basic bread (oven temp and time will vary depending on breads)
• Add grated parmesan cheese before serving to make it extra cheesy.
