This is good. I like marinara sauce.

This was an ACE recipe - Malcolm (my husband) and I LOVED it, and it worked! I was VERY sceptical about baking the filling in a baguette for so long - I thought that the bread would go too brown, NOT at all! The filling was full of flavour and the bread held it all together (as you can see in the photos) like a low-fat pastry casing. I can see hundreds of possibilities for other fillings; my parents are vegetarian and I may concoct a veggie filling for them. This is a great find, and a recipe that I am hanging on to - I am making another one this weekend for a picnic we are going on! I left the roll to go cold and sliced on the angle as suggested, the bread was soft but with bite......just perfect. We ate the slices with my home-made Golden Saffron Pear Chutney and fresh salad leaves.......just brilliant, I can't thank you enough for posting this recipe Tisme! Made for Make my Recipe #8 in the Aus/NZ forum. FT:-)
