Categories Lunch

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 loaf french bread, about 16 inches (40 cm) long and 5 inches (13 cm) wide
1 cup pizza sauce
8 slices mozzarella cheese
30 slices pepperoni
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

Heat a grill or campfire to medium heat.
Make the garlic butter: Add the butter, oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes to a small bowl and stir to combine.
Slice the French loaf almost all the way in half lengthwise, leaving a long side still attached like a hot dog bun.
Open the bread and spread the pizza sauce liberally over both sides. Lay the sliced mozzarella on both sides of the bread. Lay half of the pepperoni slices over the mozzarella on the bottom half. Sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella, then top with the remaining pepperoni. Sprinkle the Parmesan and basil over the pepperoni, then gently bring both sides of the bread up together to close.
Brush to top and bottom of the loaf with the garlic butter, then double wrap the sandwich in aluminum foil.
Set the sandwich on the grill or campfire over medium heat. Place a cast-iron or other heavy skillet on top to press down. Cook the sandwich for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 5 minutes more, until the outside of the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted.
Let sandwich cool for a few minutes before carefully unwrapping. Slice and serve.
Enjoy!

PIZZA DELUXE

Pizza Deluxe image

I made this with Pizza Sauce and Thick Crust Pizza Dough--both very easy and delicious. Why buy pizza that isn't even that good when you can make your own at home for less money and it tastes better? Recipe from The Pillsbury Cookbook. Cooking and preparation time exclude time to rise. Feel free to substitute or omit any ingredients. Enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 1 pizza, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough (1 recipe thick crust pizza dough)
3/4 cup pizza sauce
3 1/2 ounces pepperoni, sliced
2 1/2 ounces mushrooms, sliced (if using canned, make sure you drain it)
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup provolone cheese, shredded

Steps:

Grease 12" pizza pan. With greased fingers, press dough into prepared pan forming 1/2 inch rim.
Cover and let rise in a warm place (80 to 85 degrees) until light and doubled in size (15 to 30 minutes).
Heat oven to 400. Bake crust 8 to 10 minutes or until set and very light golden brown.
Spread Pizza Sauce over partially baked crust.
Arrange pepperoni, mushrooms, and green pepper over sauce.
Combine mozzarella and provolone cheeses and sprinkle over pizza.
Bake at 400 for an additional 18 to 25 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh mozzarella, flavorful pesto, and thinly sliced prosciutto are all great choices.
Don't overcrowd the panini press. If you try to cook too much at once, the panini will not cook evenly.
Press the panini down firmly and evenly. This will help to ensure that the sandwich is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Be careful not to overcook the panini. If you cook it for too long, the bread will become dry and the cheese will become tough.
Serve the panini immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

The deluxe pizza panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its crispy bread, melted cheese, and flavorful toppings, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new sandwich to try, give the deluxe pizza panini a try. You won't be disappointed.
