French bread pizza (I seriously made a video about...)

**PIZZA 1, TRADITIONAL BUT IMPROVED**
A long, soft French-style bread loaf
mozzarella (I use Galbani whole milk, low moisture string cheese, cut into small pieces)
grated parmesan
pizza sauce (I used Pastene 'Kitchen Ready' ground tomatoes mixed with a little olive oil, spices and a pinch of sugar)
olive oil
salt
Heat oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Cut the bread into long boats. Put it on a baking sheet and drizzle heavily with olive oil. Sprinkle on a little salt, get all sides of the bread coated in seasoning and oil, and position them cut-side down. Put the pan in the oven and toast the bread until the cut sides are just starting to brown, 5-10 minutes.
Take the pan out, flip the bread cut-side-up, top with a thin layer of pizza sauce, a dusting of parmesan, and mozzarella. Use a brush to liberally dab the exposed cut bread surface with water (to keep it from burning), return the pan to the oven and cook until the cheese is melty and brown - I usually turn on the broiler for this part.
**PIZZA 2, OPEN-FACED PANINI **
Sandwich-size ciabatta loaf
mozzarella (I use Galbani whole milk, low moisture string cheese, cut into small pieces)
grated parmesan
pizza sauce (I used Pastene 'Kitchen Ready' ground tomatoes mixed with a little olive oil, spices and a pinch of sugar)
fresh basil or parsley
butter
olive oil
garlic powder
salt
Slice the ciabatta into two boats. Heat an oven-safe pan over medium, and put in a big knob of butter. When the butter melts and starts to bubble, sprinkle in a little salt and put in the bread, cut-sides down. Use the bread to mop up all the butter and seasoning in the pan, then press the bread down with a brick or other heavy weight. Cook for a few minutes until the cut sides are just golden brown. Get the broiler (grill) of your oven heating to maximum.
Remove the weight, flip the bread around so the cut sides are up, dust them with a little garlic powder, and pour a little olive in the pan to fry the bottom sides of the bread. If using an electric resistance coil stove, turn the heat off. If using a gas or induction stove, reduce the heat to low. Top the bread with a thin layer of sauce, some big leaves of parsley or basil, a dusting of parmesan, and mozzarella.
Use a brush to liberally dab the exposed cut bread surface with water (to keep it from burning), put the pan under the broiler and cook until the cheese is melty and brown.
**PIZZA 3, TOMATO ORANGE SAUCE, PANCETTA, GREMOLATA**
A big Italian-style loaf
mozzarella (I use Galbani whole milk, low moisture string cheese, cut into small pieces)
grated parmesan
a shallot
a can of whole peeled plum tomatoes (I like Muir Glen)
an orange
some diced pancetta or similar bacon-like product
fresh parsley
1-2 garlic cloves
olive oil
garlic powder
chili flakes
pepper
salt
Start by making the gremolata topping. Zest the orange, peel the garlic and pick a big pile of parsley leaves. Chop all three things into each other until fine. Set aside.
Make the sauce. Peel and roughly chop the shallot. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the shallots until just starting to brown, stirring constantly. Throw in 2-3 tomatoes, mash them a bit with your spoon, and cook until stuff on the bottom of the pan just starts to brown. Deglaze the pan with the juice of the orange, and take it off the heat. Combine everything with a couple more tomatoes straight from the can and puree smooth. Season with pepper and chili flake. This will give you enough for 2-3 pizzas of the size in you see in the video.
Slice the bread into large boats that will fit in your biggest oven-safe pan.
Put the pancetta into your big pan and turn the heat on medium. Let the fat render out and then start stirring when it starts sizzling. When the pancetta seems halfway to being crispy, take most of it out, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Push the remaining pancetta into an area that will match the footprint of the bread, and pour a little olive oil in that area. Put in the bread cut-side down and press it flat with another pan or a brick or some such. Cook until the cut side is just golden brown.
Remove the weight, flip the bread around so the cut side is up, dust them it a little garlic powder, and pour a little olive in the pan to fry the bottom side of the bread. If using an electric resistance coil stove, turn the heat off. If using a gas or induction stove, reduce the heat to low. Top the bread with a thin layer of sauce, a dusting of parmesan, mozzarella, and the reserved pancetta.
Use a brush to liberally dab the exposed cut bread surface with water (to keep it from burning), put the pan under the broiler and cook until the cheese is melty and brown. Take the pizza out and sprinkle on the gremolata.

On Poland it is called "zapiekanka" and it's a streetfood staple. The most common type contains fried mushrooms instead of a tomato sauce.

[@bartiz12]

The first version is the most similar I would say, I have not seen zapiekanka where you fry the bread / bun in fat, let alone smash it to make its consistency much more dense or put water onto it to prevent burning. Also, I would say the simplest alternative way to get browned cheese and not burned bread is to get it not only half baked bread from store, kind of like cold garlic bread. Perhaps it is what restaurants in Poland tend to use?

[@RhodianColossus]

@@bartiz12 you go full out and fry the bread in fat and squish it and put water onto it to prevent burning when you are making it homemade and you learned some good tips and got some ideas from different cooks round the world, in this case some italian-american suburban dad on youtube. you don't go to an Orlen station for a hot dog to get artisanal sausage in a fresh home-made bun with lovingly crafted accompaniments but both that and a 4.99 parówka with some ketchup and mustard in the bun are still both hot dogs (until somebody starts the argument that polish style hot dogs are not genuine hot dogs but that's not really relevant)

Fun fact, we had very similar ones back in all of my schools here in Germany! Though in my experience they put more stuff on there and it actually tended to taste kinda neat. Also with a few different kinds of bread, actually, if I remember right... it _has_ been about one and a half decades.

Hey Adam! Can you do a video on making muffins?

Pizza good, bread good, pizza bread should be good.

[@bigangenbygang]

One of the local grocery stores around here sells fresh pre-made french bread pizzas that you can take home to cook. Their solution for the burning is brilliant. They add the sauce and cheese after they've got the bread like 3/4 of the way cooked, and then they package it. When you buy it, the french bread part ain't fully cooked yet so it finishes to a normal bread done-ness at the same time as the cheese browning.

Pretty cool to know that other places have such variant too. Here in Israel we have a pita-pizza, and it's also possible to use ketchup and Edam styled cheese.

[@adammiles4330]

If you have a larger size air fryer with the racks, just take the bread with no preparation and add tomato sauce and cheese, put on the broil setting which uses only the top element during cooking. make sure the sauce covers the top and a little around the edges and it's literally perfect. The air fryer broiler was made for this exact thing I swear by it and I eat it multiple times weekly.

[@GeneralKenobi69420]

Fun fact, as a french guy living in France we DO have these kind of "french breads". They're sold in most supermarkets and cost like 40 cents or something (also they're usually seen as "cheap" or "industrial" baguettes but that goes without saying)

[@bagnome]

It's pretty similar in the U.S. Here most supermarkets have a bakery that makes these and other breads fresh, daily. Though out of everything they bake available for a dollar. And it's kind of industrialized since I think the dough is probably premade and all they do is put it in an oven.

Gramercy for the trick with the water on the edge of the bread! I can't wait to try it. I've been using oil, but it doesn't work very well. You're the reason I watch videos on the internet. I love putting leftovers on a piece of bread with cheese under the broiler. Next I'll try the string cheese. Gramercy, again,

[@wingbeltcreations5455]

I tested this out myself, and it's really solid, even if you're a bit more lazy and use Ragu/Prego pasta sauce. Speaking of the sauce though, you can replace the water with more sauce and get a similar effect with an added sweet crust.

[@psiven]

One of our mainstays is a chicken pesto mozzarella french bread, a thin pesto soaks into the bread well enough not to burn under the broiler. I'm not sure where exactly that falls on the Pizza Alignment Chart but it's delicious.
