Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two flat halves.

Add your desired toppings: Arrange pepperoni slices, black olives, and diced green bell pepper across the surface of the bread.
Step 8
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the toppings for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 9
Place the bread halves on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves (if desired) before slicing into pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
