    This is a good recipe, very tasty. I followed it with the exception of using my own homemade pizza sauce. I added it to the garlic parsley mixture as noted in the recipe. It’s a nice change from regular pizza and it is easy and quick to make. Leftovers are tasty too. It’s a part of our regular rotation now.

    This French bread pizza turned out well. I used sauce I had previously made, and added pepperoni, salami, sautéed mushrooms, and black olive slices. Compressing the bread didn't seem to do much, however, as my slices rose back to almost full hight after I tried to pound them down.

    I used the baking concept from this recipe with my own pizza sauce and topping which consisted of salami, ham, onion, green pepper, olives, and mushroom. I thought the idea of 2 stage baking is a great idea for keeping the sauce from soaking into the bread. It works. I had to increase the amount of 2nd baking by another minute to adequately cook the veggies. I used my own method of smashing the bread than what Kenji uses. I use a chopping board and press down. The best pizza bread I've made so far and I've made plenty!
