Ingredients
  

4 hot dog sausages

8 slices of pizza bread (or any thick sliced bread)

1 cup pizza sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup pepperoni slices

1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Olive oil or melted butter for grilling

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Brush the pan lightly with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.

    In a saucepan, heat the pizza sauce over low heat just until warm. Stir in the Italian seasoning for added flavor.

      While the sauce warms, slice each hot dog sausage lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open them up slightly for easier stuffing.

        On a clean surface, lay out two slices of pizza bread. Spread a generous tablespoon of pizza sauce on each slice.

          Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly on top of the sauce.

            Place two sausage halves on top of the cheese, followed by a few pepperoni slices and a sprinkle of black olives if using.

              Top with another 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and finish with a second slice of pizza bread for the sandwich top.

                Carefully place the assembled sandwich onto the preheated grill pan. Press down gently with a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

                  Flip the sandwich over and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.

                    Remove from the heat, slice in half, and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

                        - Presentation Tips: Cut the sandwich diagonally for a fun presentation. Serve on a wooden board with a small bowl of warm pizza sauce for dipping, garnished with parsley for color. Enjoy your cheesy creation!
