Description
Discover the cheesy delight of Sourdough Pizza Sandwich, a perfect blend of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by warming your panini press or a skillet over medium heat.
- Brush one side of each sourdough slice with olive oil to create a golden crust.
- On the unbuttered side of two slices, generously spread marinara sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, creating a cheesy foundation.
- Layer on the pepperoni and colorful bell pepper slices for a delightful crunch.
- Season the filling with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top for extra gooeyness.
- Cap the sandwiches with the other slices of bread, oiled side facing up.
- If using a skillet, place the sandwiches in and press down firmly with a spatula, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are crispy and the cheese is bubbling. For a panini press, follow the device’s instructions until the sandwiches are perfectly toasted.
- Once cooked, take them off the heat, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and allow to rest for a minute before slicing into halves.
Notes
- For a meatless version, swap out the pepperoni for mushrooms or fresh spinach.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a layer of pesto or sun-dried tomatoes.
