Garlic Bread Pizza

Today we had a homemade version of Pizza Hut's "Garlic Bread Pizza".  I've never actually had their version, so I didn't really know how they did theirs...I just took the title and ran with it.  I didn't take many pictures either of it (as we no longer have a camera of our own...except cell phones!), so I don't have pics of the ingredients or all the steps.  But seriously, you can figure this one out!

Here it is before I put it in the oven:  (the peanut butter was NOT a part of the recipe...)

And here it is after cooking for 20ish minutes on our table!

(besides being crispier and with melted cheese, it doesn't look much different, huh? :D)

I told my family to be critical of it (hubby asked tentatively, "So, if we don't like it...how would you like us to break it to you?"  Can you tell he's been attacked with how he tells me when he doesn't like one of my creations? :P).  I wanted honest feedback on this one - Is it a keeper?  Too garlicky?  Not garlicky enough? Not cheesy enough? 

So the verdict is........................it's a keeper!  Again, we had nothing to compare it with as we have not had Pizza Hut's version.  Shane just suggested more garlic (whereas older daughter said it's too garlicky...ah, to each his own!).  I thought maybe to go with better quality pepperoni as this one was very salty.  Well, with a bit of tweaking, we'll probably have this again!

Here's the recipe:

GARLIC BREAD PIZZA

1 loaf of french bread from store bakery
garlic butter (made mine from scratch.  Mixed probably about 1/2 cup of margarine and 1/4 cup store-bought garlic diced and 1/2 teaspoon pizza seasoning)
Mozzarella cheese
pepperoni

Cut french bread in thick slices and slather with garlic butter.  Arrange bread slices on cookie sheet or pan and sprinkle generously with shredded mozzeralla cheese.  Layer on the pepperoni slices and sprinkle a bit more cheese on top.  Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread edges are crispy.  Serve with a crisp salad for a meal or have as a snack!
