French Bread Pizza

Yield: 4 pizzas

1 loaf fresh french bread
Pizza sauce (or tomato sauce simmered with salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, basil, and, if available, bay leaf, maybe thyme or rosemary too)
Mozzarella cheese
Pizza toppings such as pepperoni, olives, green pepper, pineapple, onion, and browned ground beef or sausage.

1. Tip the bread on its side and cut the loaf lengthwise so that the top is separated from the bottom. Cut both pieces in half. I cut a little away from the top to make the pieces stable when I place them on a cookie sheet.
   
2. Put the four pieces of bread on a cookie sheet or baking sheet. Top with the pizza sauce, pizza toppings, and cheese.
3. Broil the pizzas in the oven until the edges and cheese are slightly brown or until the ingredients (like pepper) are cooked.
   
4. Let cool enough to eat comfortably and enjoy.
