Why is my french bread pizza soggy?

Name: French Bread Pizza
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: 1- pound loaf French bread (I recommend store bought from your grocer's bakery); ¼ cup salted butter (softened); 1 teaspoon fresh basil (minced); 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (minced); ½ teaspoon garlic powder; 1 cup pizza sauce (marinara sauce may be substituted); 2 cups pizza cheese (usually a mixture of mozzarella, pecorino-romano, etc.); 1 teaspoon dried oregano; ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes; Pepperoni slices (for topping); Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnishing)

Question

Accepted Answer

If your pizza is soggy, then you either added too much pizza sauce or too many toppings. Raw veggies release moisture as they bake, which can make the French bread soft or soggy. If you prefer a crispier crust, you can bake the bread for 5 minutes after the herb butter has been put on it. Pull it out of the oven, add the rest of your toppings, and bake for 15 minutes.
