Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 2
Ingredients
- One baguette
- Tomato sauce or pizza sauce
- Cheese mozzarella, cheddar, or any of your choice
- Toppings of your choice pepperoni, vegetables, cooked chicken, etc.
- Olive oil
- Italian herbs optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Slice the baguette: Cut the baguette into halves lengthwise, and then cut each half horizontally to make four equal-sized pizza bases.
-
Prepare the baguette: Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush the top of each slice with olive oil. This will help the bread become crispy and golden.
-
Add the sauce: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce or pizza sauce on top of each baguette slice. Use the back of a spoon to distribute the sauce evenly.
-
Add the cheese: Sprinkle your choice of cheese over the sauce. You can use a single type of cheese or a combination for extra flavor.
-
Add your favorite toppings: Now it's time to get creative! Add your favorite toppings like pepperoni, sliced vegetables, cooked chicken, or any other ingredients you enjoy on a pizza. Make sure not to overload the pizza with too many toppings, as it may prevent even cooking.
-
Season and bake: Sprinkle some salt, pepper, and Italian herbs (optional) over the toppings to enhance the flavors. Place the baking sheet or pizza stone with the prepared baguette slices in the preheated oven.
-
Bake for about 12-15 minutes: Keep an eye on the pizzas while they bake. They are ready when the cheese has melted and turned golden, and the baguette slices have become crispy.
