Ingredients
Scale
- 2 x 300g packs of 4 white rolls, preferably slightly stale
- 80g pepperoni slices, halved
- 200g grated cheddar and mozzarella mix
- 10g Parmesan, finely grated
For the pizza sauce
- 1 x 400g tin plum tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Italian dried mixed herbs
- ¼ tsp chilli flakes
- 10g fresh basil, stalks included
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- To make the pizza sauce: heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, dried herbs, and chilli flakes. Add basil stalks and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove basil stalks and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking tray.
- Spoon pizza sauce evenly over the roll bases. Layer with half the cheese, followed by pepperoni slices, then the remaining cheese. Place the roll tops back on.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the tops and cover loosely with foil.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 3–5 minutes until golden and melty.
- Cool slightly before pulling apart to serve.
Notes
- Use slightly stale rolls for the best texture — they’ll hold up better to the sauce and cheese.
- Customize with your favorite toppings like mushrooms, olives, or cooked sausage.
- Serve with extra pizza sauce or garlic butter for dipping.
