Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the Fresh Milled Flour French Bread in half lengthwise and place both halves cut side up on the baking sheet.
1 loaf Fresh Milled Flour French Bread
Combine the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, granulated garlic, and kosher salt. Stir until fully combined.
1 cup crushed tomatoes, 1-2 teaspoons dried basil, 1-2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1-2 teaspoons granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over both halves of the French bread. Avoid adding such a thick layer that the bread becomes saturated.
Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the sauce, making sure the cheese reaches close to the edges.
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Add any optional pizza toppings.
Sprinkle a little additional dried oregano over the mozzarella.
Bake at 400°F for 8-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the bread are lightly crisp.
Let rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
Substitutions: Use your favorite prepared pizza sauce instead of the crushed tomato mixture. Whole milk or part-skim mozzarella can be used. Add your favorite cooked pizza toppings.
Storage: Refrigerate leftover French bread pizza in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Assemble and freeze unbaked pizza for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Reheat at 375°F until hot and the cheese is melted. You can also reheat individual pieces in the air fryer until crisp and warmed through.
