Homemade pepperoni garlic bread

1 loaf French bread , sliced in half horizontally

¼ cup salted butter , softened

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ cup pizza sauce

1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Spread the butter over each bread slice and sprinkle with garlic powder. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

Spread the sauce evenly over the top of each slice. Add any additional toppings, if desired. Top with cheese.
