Yield 2 french bread pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ stick unsalted butter
4 medium sweet onions, thinly sliced with the grain
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sherry wine
1 cup low sodium beef broth
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
1 dried bay leaf
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 loaf french bread, cut in half
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 oz shredded fontina cheese
6 oz shredded gruyère cheese
14 oz salami, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh parsley, tough stems trimmed

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and season with the salt. Cook for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Around the last 20 minutes of cooking, the onions will begin to caramelize, so watch carefully to ensure they don't burn. Remove 3 tablespoons of onions from the pot and set aside.
  • Add the flour to the pot and stir to coat the remaining onions. Cook until the flour is lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and deglaze with the sherry, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  • Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, and pepper and stir to combine. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the broth has reduced by about half. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Transfer the soup to a liquid measuring cup or tall, narrow glass and use an immersion blender on medium-high speed to blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Set the French bread halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Toast in the oven for 5 minutes, until just beginning to brown on the top and sides.
  • Remove the French bread from the oven and top each half with the blended onion soup, the Fontina and Gruyère cheeses, and the reserved caramelized onions, dividing evenly.
  • Return the pizzas to the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Turn the broiler on high and broil for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
  • While the pizzas are baking, make the salami roses: Using a glass with a 2-inch-wide opening, layer 12-14 thinly sliced salami rounds around the edge in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly, until the center of the glass is mostly filled but there is still a small opening. Flip the glass over to release the "rose" and repeat with the remaining salami to make another.
  • Lay 1 sprig of parsley over each pizza half, then place the roses at the top.
  • Cut the pizza into wedges and serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Pineapple

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 loaf unsliced French bread
1 (8 ounce) container chive & onion cream cheese, softened
canola oil cooking spray
12 ounces cherry tomatoes, sliced
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple, tidbits drained
1 jalapeno pepper, halved, seeds removed and sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4-1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup roasted red pepper, coarsely chopped (the kind in the jar)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
dried red pepper flakes, to taste and (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Slice bread horizontally in half.
  • Spray each cut side with canola oil.
  • Place bread cut side up on cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • When it cools enough to handle, but still warm, spread cream cheese evenly over bread.
  • Add sliced cherry tomatoes and chicken.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the cheese.
  • Add the pineapple, peppers, garlic and onions.
  • Sprinkle top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is heated through.
  • NOTE: If you don't like your vegetables crisp, you can microwave them for about 60 seconds to soften them before adding to the pizza.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A good quality French bread or baguette will give you the best results. Look for a bread that is fresh and has a crispy crust.
  • Don't overload the bread: Too many toppings will make the bread soggy. Stick to a few simple toppings that you like.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pizza will taste. Avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients.
  • Cook the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the pizza is cooked through and the cheese is gooey and delicious.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the cheese to set and prevent it from running off the bread.

Conclusion:

French bread pizza is a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious pizza that is perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give French bread pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
