Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sub sandwich rolls
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices Sliced pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup Optional toppings (e.g. sliced black olives, diced bell peppers, mushrooms)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut each sub sandwich roll in half lengthwise and lay them open-faced on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Stir in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Brush the cut sides of each roll with the seasoned butter mixture evenly.
Spread a quarter cup of pizza sauce on each roll, spreading it to cover the surface evenly.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each roll.
Add 5 slices of pepperoni to each sub, or more if desired. Scatter any optional toppings evenly over the cheese and pepperoni.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are slightly crisp.
Remove the pizza subs from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Pizza Subs!
