Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C.

Notes

Choosing the bread: If you don’t have a bakery or supermarket with a bakery selling fresh bread nearby, you could buy a part-baked loaf instead. Aldi does a nice part-bake sourdough stick, and other supermarkets will have something similar. Bear in mind the cooking time might be slightly longer if you use part-baked
Storing: Leftovers are great cold for lunch (mmm cold pizza!) Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days
