but sometimes, it` just nicer to make pizza from scratch (minus the baking the bread part!) instead of buying a frozen box or spending a fortune at Dominos. so, to make up for the fact that i hadn`t really eaten anything today, i decided that i fancied a pizza - but with a twist.
so, i bought a ciabatta roll, some mozzarella balls and some tomatoes - and made mini ciabatta pizzas!
ingredients:
- ciabatta roll
- mozzarella ball
- large tomato
- tomato puree
- (any extra ingredients you would like!)
utensils:
- oven
- baking tray
- sharp knife
- oven gloves
- butter knife
- plate
recipe:
- pre-heat oven
- while oven is warming up, chop tomato into round slices and mozzarella ball into round slices
- once oven is warmed up, place the ciabatta roll onto a baking tray and warm through on gas 6 for 10-15 mins
- once the ciabatta has warmed through, take it out of the oven and slice with a sharp enough knife. you can either slice into small round slice, or half the ciabatta roll length-ways so you`re left with two long ciabatta pieces; either way would work. *beware when slicing the warm bread - it`s really hot!*
- leave the oven on
- spread tomato puree onto the ciabatta slices
- divide the mozzarella slices onto the ciabatta slices
- divide the tomato slices on top
- (add any extra ingredients you like!)
- place back onto the baking tray and back into the oven. leave in to allow the mozzarella to soften and melt. this usually takes another 5-8 mins (you could grill the mozzarella, but the edges of the ciabatta bread tend to burn - warming through in the oven takes slightly longer but is worth it!)
- take out once the mozzarella has melted and place on a pretty tray! (sharing is totally optional!!!)
