Servings: 4 people
Calories: 341kcal
Ingredients
- 250 g of French stick
- 180 g of Pizza sauce
- 80 g of Light mature cheddar
- 125 g of Light Mozzarella
- 40 g of Olives halved
- 80 g of Cherry tomatoes halved
Instructions
- Slice the 250 g of French stick into 4 pieces. Divide 180 g of Pizza sauce between each piece of French stick.
- Add 80 g of Light mature cheddar (grated) on top of the pizza sauce.
- Top with 80 g of Cherry tomatoes, 40 g of Olives and 125 g of Light Mozzarella (torn).
- Put in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 7 for 10-12 minutes. Sprinkles some fresh herbs on before serving.
Notes
- Use a baguette that is slightly firm rather than very soft, as it will hold the toppings better and become crisp in the oven.
- Do not use too much sauce. A thin layer gives the best texture and stops the bread becoming soggy.
- If using fresh mozzarella, drain it well and pat it dry before adding it to the pizza. This helps prevent excess liquid.
- Keep the toppings fairly small so they heat through quickly and are easier to eat.
- For a crispier base, bake the sliced baguette for 3-4 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
- If your baguette is very rounded, press the middle down slightly before topping. This gives you a flatter surface and helps stop the toppings sliding off.
