French Bread Pizza
From Gardening and Lifestyle Editor Rebecca Kolls
Rebecca Kolls takes the peppers she grows in her garden and uses them in a French bread pizza recipe.
Olive oil
2 fresh red jalapeno peppers, stemmed and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, cored and julienne
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and julienne
1 green bell pepper, cored and julienne
1 Italian green frying pepper, cored and julienne
3 medium onions, julienne
5 teaspoons chopped garlic
salt and ground black pepper
1 loaf of Italian bread
2 cups shredded mozzarella, or to taste
Heat several tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the jalapenos, bell peppers, Italian frying pepper, onions, and garlic and fry for 6 to 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cut the Italian bread in half lengthwise. Cover with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella, add a layer of sautéed peppers and some oil from the frying pan, and top with a light layer of cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve hot.
