- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Season (Optional): If desired, sprinkle dried oregano and crushed red pepper over the toppings for extra flavor.
- Bake in the Oven: Place the prepared French loaf on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
