Make a Pizza Sub
Pizzas taste great, but sometimes they take a little too much space and time to create. If you're tight on time and kitchen counter space, try making a pizza sub, instead! Most people love the zippy sub sandwich with Italian sausage, pepperoni, and salami. They provide the robust flavors in this family-pleasing fare. If you'd like, serve the crispy subs with extra pizza sauce for dipping. Here's how to make easy and quite tasty pizza subs right in your kitchen.
Makes 1 sub per person
Contents
[hide]Ingredients
- Bread (the sub type)
- 1 tablespoon tomato or pizza sauce
- 2 teaspoons cheese (any type you desire)
- Other desired pizza toppings (i.e pepperoni, ham, green olives, pepper, mushrooms, etc.)
Steps
- Spread sauce on the sub bread. Slice open your sub and spread your amount of tomato sauce inside, spreading gently with a spoon.
- Grate your cheese. Grate your preferred cheese over the layer of sauce and make sure that it tops neatly.
- Add extra toppings to your pizza if desired. At the moment, it'll be a plain cheese pizza sub, but nothing's wrong with adding some pizazz. Feel free to choose your favorite toppings from pineapple slices to olives, use different toppings you enjoy adding.
- Preheat your grill to high. Turn your grill on to all the way high and have it preheat.
- Grill. Place your raw pizza sub on a baking tray and place it in the grill with the door slightly left open, if possible.
- Leaving the door a bit open will help you check on the subs occasionally and avoid having it burn.
- Enjoy! Remove the pizza sub out when the bread has fully crisped and the cheese has melted, usually about five minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Tips
- It might be a good idea to cook one side of the bread before you add the topping on or you will get a half cold and half warm pizza.
- If you don't have tomato sauce on hand try using tomato pasta instead.
- Lightly brush salted butter or vegetable on the bread before adding the sauce. This gives it a sweet, greasier taste.
Warnings
- Keep in an eye on the sub while it cooks. Since the heat is on high it will bake faster than normal.
- Avoid adding too much tomato sauce on the sub. Too much can cause the sauce to drip and will ruin your baking tray. A tablespoon is usually enough.
