Grilled French Bread Pizza is an easy weeknight meal that everyone will devour!
Don't let summer go by without making a fire-grilled french bread pizza. It is absolutely fantastic on the grill and a great way to beat the Summer heat. With just a few ingredients and about 30 minutes dinner will be on the table. Plus it's totally customizable to everybody's liking and such a fun dinner for the kiddos to help with.
French bread pizza is much easier to make than regular pizza, but if you'd rather have that try my Cast Iron Pizza. Why deal with making your own dough, when you can whip this up in about 30 minutes paired with a crispy salad and you have a hearty meal. These are also a perfect make-ahead freezer meal, or to throw on the grill for camping!
