For the pizzas:
  • 1 large loaf French bread, 24-28 inches long, or 2 loaves, 12 inch breads
  • 2 cloves garlic, halved
  • About 2 cups Raw Pizza Sauce
  • 1 ½ cups shredded brick mozzarella
  • 1 ½ cups shredded provolone
  • 1 cup grated pecorino cheese or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • About 8 ounces or 2 cups total chopped thinly sliced pepperoni, sweet sopressata or salami with fennel, and hot capocollo ham
  • Sweet or hot Italian red cherry peppers, sliced, or hot pepper rings of choice

Preparation

For the sauce, puree sauce in food processor, transfer to small bowl. 

For the pizzas, preheat oven to 425˚F.
