Perfect French Bread Pizza

2 loaves Italian or French bread 
1/4 c olive oil
2 tsp Italian seasonings
1/2 tsp kosher salt
24-32 oz. mozzarella cheese
3 c pasta sauce
1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
sprinkling of parsley

Preheat oven to 400℉.  Slice bread lengthwise and then cut each half into about 3 pieces or so.  If the bread is thicker than about an inch, press down on each piece until it's closer to that thickness.

Place the bread on a large baking sheet (covered in aluminum foil!).  Combine the olive oil, Italian seasonings, and salt in a small bowl and brush the sliced portion of each piece of bread with the olive oil mixture.

Top the bread with half the cheese and place in the oven, cook 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts.

While the cheese is melting, warm the sauce in the microwave or on the stovetop.  Remove bread from the oven and spread the sauce evenly over the bread.  Top with the remaining cheese and return to the oven until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 5-6 minutes.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
