FRENCH BREAD PIZZA

How often do you end up with stale french bread?  Well don't throw it away, it's the perfect base for French Bread Pizza, great for a quick lunch or snack and a way of using up the odd bits of vegetables that are hanging around in your fridge.

INGREDIENTS
French bread, fresh or stale
Base tomato sauce / Passata / Pasta sauce
Chopped ham
Sliced mushrooms / peppers / spring onions etc
Grated cheese

METHOD
Slice the bread in half lengthways.  Spoon a layer of tomato sauce and top with chopped ham and vegetables or any other topping of your choice.  Sprinkle with grated cheese and grill until bubbling and the cheese is golden.

NB: If you don't have any home made Base Tomato Sauce you can use shop bought Passata or any other pasta sauce.  My favourite is Lloyd Grossman's Tomato and Basil sauce.  You could even use tomato puree.  Click here for the Base Tomato Sauce recipe.
