Vegetarian Pizza On Ciabatta Bread Recipes

CIABATTA BREAD PIZZA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• Slice the loaf lengthwise and brush the inside with the olive oil
• Rub the clove of garlic on the bread - or chop finely and add it - it is up to you how much you like garlic
• Spread the drained diced tomatoes on top of the bread evenly.
• Place a good layer of your grated Romano cheese on top. If using Parmesan cheese - add some salt in next step.
• Sprinkle the oregano and some kosher salt on top.
• Bake in oven for 45-50 minutes. Do not let the cheese burn.

VEGETARIAN PIZZA ON CIABATTA BREAD

Steps:

• Warm up the oven at 190C - 375F and prepare a pizza or an oven baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
• Cut the ciabatta bread length wise and grill (cut facing down) in a pan for 2 minutes.
• Chop some olives, one red onion (make it into rings)
• Brush the bread with the tomato sauce with a generous layer (as generous as you like) add some herbs if you like to the tomato sauce (see my notes in recipe notes below)
• Sprinkle the olives and the onions and place in the oven. Bake for 10 min at 190C.
• Take out of the oven, sprinkle a generous layer of the blended grated cheese (I used half hard mozzarella and half mild cheddar). Place back in the oven and carry on baking for another 5-7 min approximately or until the cheese turns nice and gets a beautiful golden colour.
• Take out of the oven, allow it to cool for a couple of minutes and serve whilst still nice and warm.

CIABATTA PIZZAS WITH STICKY ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and heat the oil in a large, lidded frying pan. Add the onions, garlic and rosemary with a splash of water, cover, then cook for about 10 mins until soft. Remove the lid, turn up the heat, then cook for a few more mins.
• Stir in the peppers, olives and some seasoning. Place the ciabatta halves, facing upwards, on a baking tray. Divide the mixture over the bread, spreading a little to cover. Sprinkle over the cheese, then bake for 10 mins or until the cheese is bubbling. These are delicious with a green salad.
