These baguette pizzas are perfect for when you want a cheesy, easy sharing bite with your pals but don't want to go to the effort of making fresh pizza dough. We've got buffalo chicken, spinach and artichoke, and spicy pepperoni, so there's something for everyone.

Method

For the pepperoni pizza sauce, start by sautéing the onions and garlic in some olive oil until softened. Add the tomato paste, cook for a couple of minutes over medium heat, then add tinned tomatoes. Break up any chunky tomatoes, season, then leave to simmer on medium/low for 15-20 minutes.

Spread the sauce over half a baguette, and top with a good helping of mozzarella. Top with the pepperoni and pepperoncinis, and bake at 200 C for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

For the buffalo chicken, toss buffalo sauce with your cooked and shredded chicken breasts. Spread over your baguette, and top with mozzarella, crumbled blue cheese, spring onions, and chives. Bake at 200 C for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

For the spinach artichoke, start by sautéing the onion and garlic in some olive oil until softened. Add the chopped artichoke hearts, cooked spinach, cream cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mozzarella, and parmesan.

Spread the mixture over the baguette, top with more mozzarella, and bake at 200 C for 5-10 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted. Finish with freshly grated parmesan.
