Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

　　1 (5-ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and roughly chopped

　　1 pinch hot-pepper flakes (optional for kids)

　　1 tablespoon roughly chopped Italian parsley, or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano (optional for kids)

　　1 (6-ounce) container bocconcini in oil (or 3/4 cup fresh mozzarella in oil, torn into pieces), undrained

　　1/2 thin 18-inch baguette, sliced lengthwise, interior crumb removed

　　

Step 1

1. In a medium bowl, combine the first four ingredients (including the bocconcini's or mozzarella's marinade).

　　

Step 2

2. Fill the baguette with the mixture.

　　

Step 3

3. Close the baguette and wrap it tightly in waxed paper, then in aluminum foil.
