Ingredients

  • 1 loaf sourdough bread
  • 1 pkg pepperonis
  • 1 jar pizza sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 16 tbsp butter more/less

Instructions

  1. Butter one side of each piece of bread.  I estimated 2 tbsp of butter per piece of bread but you can use less.  It depends on how big your bread is and how much you put on it.  You want the whole area covered with a thin layer.

  2. On the non-buttered side of one piece of bread for each person, place the desired amount of pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese.  Make sure the cheese is on top so the top piece of bread will stick.

  3. Place the non-buttered side of the other piece of bread and lay it on top.  So each buttered side of the bread should be on the outside.  

  4. Place one sandwich at a time in the panini maker for one to two minutes until golden brown.

Recipe Notes

To cook an open faced pizza sandwich, do everything the same but you will only need one piece of bread.  You will not need the extra buttered top piece.  Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until the cheese is melted or place under the broiler until the cheese is melted.  Watch carefully so they don't burn.
