Make sure to add seasonings - I did salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. After the meat is cooked through, add the can of tomatoes and cook for a few minutes.

While it is cooking, cut off the very top of the bread and pull out the insides. I save and freeze it to make bread crumbs later.

At the end of the cooking I like to add fresh herbs from my garden - oregano and thyme

Take a layer of the sliced mozzarella and place on the first layer of bread. Then fill the bread will the meat filling...

Finish with the last of the mozzarella on top and place on baking sheet in a hot oven until the cheese is melted and the bread starts to get crusty.
