Creator's notes
Jessica notes this loaf is Italian bread, not French — use whatever you have, including a store-bought garlic bread loaf. She skips chopping fresh garlic in favor of a scoop of jarred, and says homemade pizza seasoning is easy if you can't buy it. Toppings are whatever's in the fridge; she'd normally serve it with a salad.
