MUSHROOM LOVERS' FRENCH BREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp towel and slice them. Heat the EVOO and butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the butter melts into the oil, add the bay leaf, garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are dark and tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and add the wine, stirring the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Shake the pan and add the Worcestershire and thyme. Turn off the heat.
• Split the loaf first lengthwise and then across. Pull out and discard a bit of the soft insides. Toast the bread lightly under the broiler then fill each section of bread evenly with mushrooms. Top liberally with the cheese. Return the bread sections to the broiler until the cheese browns and bubbles then remove the pizzas from the oven and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes; set aside.
• Combine 1/4 cup olive oil and the garlic in a small bowl. Put the bread cut-side up on a baking sheet and drizzle with the garlic oil; season with salt. Broil until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the ricotta on the bread, then top with the mushrooms and mozzarella. Broil until browned and bubbling, 2 to 5 minutes; transfer to a cutting board.
• Cut the bread into pieces. Sprinkle with the parsley, parmesan and red pepper flakes. Drizzle the tomatoes with the vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the pizza.
