    Title: Pepperoni Lover's French Bread Pizza
    Categories: Vegetables, Cheese, Beef, Herbs, Breads
    Yield: 4 servings

    MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    14 oz Can petite diced tomatoes;
    - drained
    1 cl Garlic; grated
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Dried oregano
    1 tb Olive oil
    Few grinds of black pepper

    MMMMM---------------------------PIZZA--------------------------------
    1/4 c Olive oil
    2 cl Garlic; grated
    1 Loaf soft French bread;
    - split lengthwise, insides
    - mostly dug out
    4 oz Mozzarella; grated or torn
    2 tb Grated Parmesan; more for
    - serving
    2 oz Sliced pepperoni; quartered
    Red-pepper flakes or dried
    - oregano, or both, for
    - serving

    MAKE THE SAUCE: Set the oven @ 450-|F/232-|C with a rack
    in the middle position. Combine tomatoes, garlic, salt,
    oregano, olive oil and black pepper in a medium bowl,
    and stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use.

    PREPARE THE PIZZA: Combine the 1/4 cup olive oil and
    garlic in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling
    occasionally, until the garlic starts to sizzle, but
    doesnrCOt brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

    Place the French bread cut side up on a baking sheet.
    Brush cut sides with garlic oil. Bake until edges are
    golden, 5 to 7 minutes.

    Toss together the mozzarella, Parmesan and pepperoni in
    a medium bowl. Divide tomato sauce between the two bread
    halves all the way to the edges and top with pepperoni
    and cheese.

    Return to the oven and bake until melted, about 5
    minutes. Increase heat to broil and broil (watch
    carefully!) until the cheese is bubbly and browned in
    spots, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before
    slicing and serving. Serve topped with more Parmesan,
    red-pepper flakes and oregano, if you like.
