James' Favorite French Bread Pizza

• 1 loaf French bread
• 24 slices pepperoni
• 12 red onion, sliced thin
• 12 yellow bell pepper, sliced thin
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

1. Mix all the sauce ingredients together, allow to sit for 10 minutes and up to over night.
2. I like it chunky, but you can choose to blend it for a smoother sauce.
3. Slice the bread in half lengthwise.
4. Top each half with a generous amount of the sauce.
5. Layer on the toppings; start with pepperoni, then the mozzarella, and finally the vegetables; add other veggies if desired (I enjoy mushrooms).
6. Dot the top of the pizza with a bit more sauce.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crisp.
