Ingredients
- 4 large portabello mushrooms / 400g large brown mushrooms
- 100g baby portabellini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 baguettes
- 1 x 375ml tomato-based pasta sauce of choice
- 250g mozzarella cheese, grated
- 200g mixed olives, sliced
- 1 – 2 Tbsp capers
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chilli, for serving
How To Make Baguette Pizzas – Method
- Preheat oven to 200˚C, fan on. Place oven rack towards the top third of the oven.
- Place the portabellos on a baking tray. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Dry roast for 7 minutes until just tender but not fully cooked through. Allow mushrooms to rest skin side up so they can release their liquid. Slice.
- Halve each baguette lengthways. Place on a baking tray and brush with a little olive oil. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp up.
- Place pasta sauce in a small saucepan and reduce until it’s slightly thickened and has a good spreadable consistency. Spread a few tablespoons of pasta sauce onto each baguette half.
- Top each half with cheese, sliced portabellos, raw baby portabellinis, olives, and capers.
- Finish with a sprinkle of Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Return to the oven and bake for 6 – 8 min, until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
- Serve straight away with some chilli on the side.
