French Bread Pizza Is Impossibly Cheesy — and Easy to Make
If the last time you enjoyed a French bread pizza was at lunch in your school cafeteria, you’re most definitely overdue to dig into one again. The simple combination of crusty French bread topped with sauce and cheese is nothing but satisfying and is sure to make you feel like a kid again. This recipe is particularly delightful because it features melty Daiya plant-based cheeze. Their deliciously dairy-free Mozzarella Style Cutting Board Shreds isn’t what you might expect — in the best way possible. They bring stretchy, gooey texture and rich flavor to each bite of these winning pizzas.
Deliciously Dairy-Free Pizza Couldn’t Be Simpler
Plant-based eating has gained popularity recently for good reason: It not only supports your overall health, but it also supports the health of the environment. Daiya’s new Mozzarella Style Cutting Board Shreds make it easy to reap these benefits. They melt perfectly on top of these quick French bread pizzas and take less than 15 minutes to bake. But if you’re in a rush, try covering them loosely with aluminum foil to speed up melting. No matter what, you can’t go wrong.

- 2
plum tomatoes

(12-ounce) loaf soft French or Italian bread
- 3/4
cup store-bought or homemade pizza sauce, divided
- 1
(7.1-ounce) package Daiya Mozzarella Cutting Board Cheeze Shreds

Instructions
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Thinly slice 2 plum tomatoes.
Cut 1 (12-ounce) loaf soft French or Italian bread in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise so you have 4 pieces. Arrange the bread cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 3 tablespoons pizza sauce evenly on each piece of bread. Sprinkle 1 (7.1-ounce) package Daiya Mozzarella Cutting Board Cheeze Shreds evenly over the bread, then arrange tomato slices on top.
Bake the pizzas in a 400°F oven until the cheeze is melted and edges of the bread are golden and toasted, 12 to 14 minutes. Top with 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped or torn fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
