6French Bread Pizza
JOEL GOLDBERGCraving homemade pizza, but don’t want to deal with finicky pizza dough? Skip it altogether, and grab the nearest loaf of French bread instead. The loaf makes for a delicious pizza “crust” that will get crispy on the outside while staying nice and soft on the inside. It’s truly the best of both worlds.

And don't doubt the everything bagel seasoning (either from a shaker or homemade)—just do it.
