As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, comfort foods take center stage. Our St. Germain Baguette—with its golden crust and soft, airy crumb—makes the perfect base for a fall favorite: a rustic Margherita Pizza.

This recipe is simple, satisfying, and versatile. Whether you’re looking for a cozy appetizer, a shareable small plate, or a quick café special, this baguette pizza brings together everything we love about the season: warmth, flavor, and comfort.

Ingredients:

• 1 St. Germain Baguette, sliced lengthwise

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 cup rich tomato sauce (or roasted tomato spread for extra fall depth)

• 6 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

• 1–2 heirloom or late-season tomatoes, thinly sliced

• Fresh basil leaves

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Optional fall flair: drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of chili flakes for warmth

Directions:

1. Warm the base: Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the baguette lengthwise and brush with olive oil.

2. Layer the flavors: Spread tomato sauce, then top with mozzarella and tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Bake until golden: Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese melts and the baguette edges are crisp and toasty.

4. Finish fresh: Add basil leaves and, if desired, a drizzle of balsamic glaze for cozy sweetness.

5. Serve & savor: Slice into portions for a hearty snack, appetizer, or fireside bite.

However you serve it, this Margherita Baguette Pizza is a cozy reminder that sometimes the simplest recipes are the most satisfying—especially in the fall.
