Corsica is a French island located in the Mediterranean, known, among other things, for its beautiful landscapes, culture and unique cuisine. Corsica's charcuterie is particularly renowned for its fresh, artisanal products made from high-quality pork and traditional recipes, which is where France-based food writer and photographer, Guillaume Marinette (guillaume.marinette), took inspiration from for this Corsican Pizza Baguette.
One of the island’s specialties is coppa (or capicola), a cooked, smoked or dried ham made from pork neck and shoulder. It is often served in thin slices and often accompanies Corsican cheeses like brocciu (similar to ricotta) and casgiu merzu (a strong, semi-hard cheese made from goat’s milk).
To pay homage to the island, Guillaume uses a baguette-style dough, one of France’s most famous gastronomic symbols, paired with tomme de brebis corse – an uncooked pressed Cosican cheese made from whole sheep's milk with aromas of hazelnut and herbs.
The shape of this baguette pizza is ideal to share as a starter, or enjoy it with a light, bright salad.
