Vegan French Bread Pizza

Quick and easy Vegan French Bread Pizza! A deliciously satisfying weeknight meal that everyone can customize with their own favorite toppings!

Remember that delicious marinara sauce from last week? It’s back! I set aside some of the sauce to try on french bread pizza and it was awesome. We’re huge fans of pizza in any form, so this was perfect for a fast, easy fix. You can always substitute store-bought marinara (or other homemade pizza sauce, BBQ sauce, pesto, etc.) if you’d like. Plus it’s a great family-friendly meal since everyone can have fun customizing theirs with their own favorite toppings!

Preparation of french bread pizza

For a “traditional” mozzarella cheese, one brand we love is Miyoko’s vegan mozzarella. (Not sponsored, just love.) It’s super tasty, melts pretty well, and is made from great ingredients like organic cashews. However, if you’d like to make this even healthier, feel free to use your own homemade cashew parmesan for a cheesy flavor. Hope you enjoy this easy weeknight meal as much as we do!

Vegan French Bread Pizza

Quick and easy Vegan French Bread Pizza! A deliciously satisfying weeknight meal that everyone can customize with their own favorite toppings.
Author: Kaitlin – The Garden Grazer
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:30 minutes
Category: Main Dish
Cuisine: Gluten-Free Option, Italian, Vegan
Servings:2 pizzas

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 1 French bread loaf (gluten-free if desired)
  • 2/3 cup marinara sauce* (or pizza sauce, BBQ sauce, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella shreds (I love Miyoko's brand)
  • Dried basil and oregano for sprinkling
  • Olive oil for brushing

Toppings of choice (optional):

  • Mushrooms, onion, tomato, bell pepper, spinach, olives, etc.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cut bread in half, lengthwise. Place slices face up on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
  • Bake for about 8 minutes to crisp up the bread.
  • Remove from oven. Spread desired amount of sauce evenly over each half of bread. Then top with cheese, a sprinkle of herbs, and any additional toppings if desired.
  • Return to oven for about 10-15 minutes. Move to the top rack and turn on the broiler for the last minute or so. (Watch carefully if placing under the broiler as it can burn quickly!)

Notes

*Play around with homemade marinara, pizza sauce, BBQ sauce, or your own favorite pizza sauces. It’s a great recipe to customize based on the flavors you love.
Made gluten-free with your favorite GF bread.
Estimated nutritional information is for 2 servings (each bread half).

    French bread pizza is one of my husband's favorite foods! But he just gets the frozen kind and it never occurred to me to make it myself. 🙂 I love this idea!

      Hi ladies! I cycle between several different ones (Daiya, Follow Your Heart, Miyokos, etc.) and it’s all up to your taste preference (and of course which ones are available in your stores!) I think I prefer Miyokos which is amazingly creamy with great ingredients 🙂 I love that there’s so many awesome vegan products out there now – definitely fun to experiment with! Have a lovely weekend!
