The quantities follow this count.

1 loaf french bread
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella
2 oz pepperoni
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp olive oil

How to cook it

Heat the oven to 425F and split the french bread loaf lengthwise, then halve each half crosswise to make 4 pieces.
Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil and set the bread cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Spread the pizza sauce over each piece, leaving a small border, then sprinkle with garlic powder and italian seasoning.
Scatter the mozzarella evenly over the top and add the pepperoni.
Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the bread are toasted, about 10 minutes.
Slice each piece in half and serve hot.
