Ingredients
1 loaf of French bread, halved lengthwise and cut into sections
2–3 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic salt
½ tsp dried oregano
½ cup pizza sauce (store-bought)
Fresh mozzarella (sliced)
12–16 pepperoni slices (store-bought)
1 cup mushrooms (sliced; sautéed)
1 tbsp butter (for mushrooms)
Salt & black pepper (to taste)
Optional: red pepper flakes, fresh basil, or Parmesan---


Step 1: Prep the Garlic Oil Bread Base
0:00 Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
0:21 Slice bread.
1:13 In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic salt, and oregano.
1:51 Brush cut sides of the bread generously with the seasoned oil mixture.
2:05 Place on a baking sheet cut-side up and bake for 5–7 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms
2:11 Preheat nonstick or cast iron pan.
2:38 While the bread toasts, heat 1 tbsp butter and a small splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2:59 Add mushrooms in a single layer.
3: 27 Let them cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to brown, then stir occasionally.
Cook until moisture evaporates and mushrooms start absorbing the butter.
3:34 Season with salt and pepper, thyme (optional) then remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizzas
4:08 Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each toasted bread slice.
4:35 Add a layer of sautéed mushrooms.
5:27 Top with fresh mozzarella slices, covering well.
5:52 Add pepperoni slices on top so they crisp up during baking.

Step 4: Final Bake
6:00 Return pizzas to oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, until:
Cheese is melted and bubbling
Pepperoni is crisp around the edges
Bread is golden and crisp
For extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).

Step 5: Serve
6:31 Slice to your liking and serve.

Optional Toppings & Serving Ideas:
Garnish with fresh basil, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of hot honey.
