How to Make a Pizza Sandwich

In minutes, with just a handful of ingredients, you can make pizza sandwiches for supper, after-school treats, or wrapped up for a picnic. Details are in the recipe, but just follow these easy steps.

Press Out the Dough

Unroll the pizza dough, then press it into a 12×10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 4 pieces.

Add the Fillings

Spread each piece of dough with pizza sauce; arrange pepperoni on half of the dough, and sprinkle with cheese and oregano.

Fold Over

Fold the dough up and over the filling. No need to seal. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

Bake Until Golden Brown

A hot oven ensures the dough will crisp up and become golden brown, with gooey cheese!
