Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

Slice the French bread in half lengthwise to create two long pieces.

Place the bread halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut sides up.

Bake in the oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread, preventing sogginess.

Remove from oven and spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce over each slice. Top with 1 cup shredded cheese and additional toppings as desired.

Bake for an additional 8-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from oven, let rest for 3 minutes, then slice into 2-inch pieces and serve hot.
