Notes
- Feel free to customize your pizza baguette with other toppings such as mushrooms, ham, or fruits.
- Use a traditional French baguette for the best balance of crispiness and softness.
- Avoid spreading tomato puree on the edges to keep the crust crispy.
- Adjust salt and oregano amounts to your taste preferences.
