Ingredients
  

4 hot dogs

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup pepperoni slices

1 cup pizza sauce

4 slices of Italian bread (or your favorite sandwich bread)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, place the hot dogs in the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on one side of each slice of bread.

        On two of the slices (sauce side up), layer half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the sautéed hot dogs, pepperoni slices, and the rest of the cheese.

          Top with the remaining slices of bread, sauce side down. Press down gently to secure the sandwich.

            In a small bowl, mix oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Sprinkling this mixture on top of each sandwich will add flavor.

              Carefully transfer the sandwiches onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

                  Once out of the oven, allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then cut each sandwich in half.

                    Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve immediately with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
