Pizza Bread
I made this bread at the National DOG in Madisonville TX. Didn't do it in the dutch oven - it was just a "snack"
thing. But I got so many compliments on it I thought I'd share. I did this in the RV oven, but I think you could do it in foil
over a campfire if you wanted. I didn't even have a name for it - one of the guys just said it was "pizza tasting bread."
I took a loaf of French bread & sliced it long ways, then laid both halves of the bread on a cookie sheet. Pour Zesty Italian
salad dressing over the cut side of the bread, then put either salsa or picante' sauce on top of that (I used Sam's medium
chunky salsa). Then I sprinkled grated cheese, the cheddar/pepper jack mix is what I used, on top of that. Baked at 350
degrees for probably 15 minutes, just until the bread was warmed through & cheese was melted. Slice & serve. Those
Texans loved it! So did us 2 Kansans & the one guy from Georgia! So good, so easy! There are probably lots of
variations you could do on this. It was very good - crunchy outside, soft & chewy on the inside. Ronda, SE Kansas
