Ingredients
- 6 whole Deli Rolls Or Crusty Italian Rolls
- Jarred Marinara Sauce Or Pizza Sauce
- Jarred Or Refrigerated Pesto
- 2 pounds Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
- Grated Parmesan Cheese To Taste
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 whole Onion, Sliced
- 1/2 pound Sausage (regular Breakfast Sausage Or Italian Sausage)
- Pepperoni Slices
- Canadian Bacon Slices
- Pineapple Chunks, Fresh Or Canned
- Roma Tomatoes, Sliced
- Sliced Black Olives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- For the pizza: Slice rolls in half and lay them, cut side up, on a large baking sheet.
- Top each half with a generous portion of either marinara or pesto. Next, top with a generous amount of grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese, if you'd like.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Top the bread with the onions and sausage. Sprinkle on your choice of optional toppings.
- Once all assembled, put the pan in the oven on the lowest rack for 8 to 10 minutes. Crank up the heat to 425° and put it on the highest rack until the cheese starts to bubble a bit and turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove and serve immediately! You can cut the pizzas in half right across the middle so there are mini French bread pizzas for everyone.
