Equipment

  • Spoon for spreading sauce
  • Cutting board (optional for slicing bread)
  • Aluminum foil (optional for wrapping)

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Sub Rolls: Slice the sub rolls in half and brush the inside with olive oil or melted butter. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
  2. Step 2: Add the Pizza Sauce: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce on each sub roll, making sure to cover it evenly from end to end.
  3. Step 3: Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, then add your choice of toppings like pepperoni, sausage, or vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Bake the Pizza Sub: Bake the prepared sub rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Step 5: Serve:Remove the pizza subs from the oven, let them cool for a minute, and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle with oregano or basil for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Customization: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add chicken, bacon, olives, or even pineapple for a unique twist on your pizza sub.
  • Vegan/Vegetarian Options: Substitute traditional cheese and meats with vegan cheese, plant-based sausage, and vegetables for a meatless meal.
  • Make-Ahead: You can assemble the pizza subs ahead of time and store them in the fridge. When ready to eat, simply bake them to melt the cheese and toast the bread.
  • Freezing: To freeze, wrap each sub tightly in foil and store in an airtight container. When ready to eat, bake directly from frozen for 20-25 minutes at 375°F.
  • Side Suggestions: Serve with a side of garlic bread, salad, or even fries for a complete meal.
