Frozen Friday: Red Baron - Singles Pepperoni French Bread Pizza

Red Baron Singles Pepperoni French Bread Pizza comes in a pack of 2 individually wrapped frozen pizzas topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni that can be oven-baked of microwaved.

A 10.8-ounce box retails for about $5.29 or about $2.50 to $3.00 on sale.

French Bread Pizza is one of those things that feel like you can easily make at home since French bread is easy to get. You just cut a piece of French bread in half, spread pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni. Pop it in the oven for a bit and "Voila!" French bread pizza! You can even make it in one of those sandwich presses. For that reason, I prefer pizza crust pizza over French bread.
The crisping box for the pizza was a little too big and didn't do a good job of crisping the crust during microwave cooking. The result was a pretty soft crust. Boooo!
Red Baron uses a thicker cut of pepperoni that delivers on the flavor front but won't crisp too well regardless of where/how you cook it. I guess if you took a brulee torch to it, it might crisp nicely.
The cheese melts nicely and the sauce is reasonably tart and slightly sweet but the overall result is a bit plain and bready.  French bread is fairly thick and the Red Baron's version is a bit on the dense side which makes it just okay and leaves me wanting for a proper, thinner pizza crust.
