Garlic bread Pizza


1 loaf french bread sliced in half length wise
3 tbsp butter softened
3 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp ranch dressing powder mix
1 Cup mushrooms chopped
1 jar pizza sauce
4 cups shredded mozzarella

Additional toppings
Bell peppers
Spinach

Set oven to low broil. Spread melted butter on cut side of bread. Sprinkle with the garlic salt and ranch powder. Put under broiler until edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and top with pizza sauce and spread evenly. Add 1/2 of the cheese, trying to cover the whole surface so the edges wont burn while cooking. Top cheese with your favorite toppings. Cover with remaining cheese and place back in oven on low broil. When the cheese gets golden and bubbly you are ready. If your edges start to get too dark during the second broil, cover loosely with foil until the very end.

The reason I have you broil it the first time is so the bread gets extra crispy and it can withstand the sauce with out getting soggy during cooking. You might not believe it but the garlic powder kicks ass, who knew garlic bread would make excellent pizzas!
