ITALIAN BREAD WEDGES

Steps:

• In a bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the oil, salt, remaining water and 2 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough flat. Let rest for 5 minutes. Press into a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Spread with salad dressing. Combine the garlic powder, oregano, thyme and pepper; sprinkle over dough.

SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown on both sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain.
• Keeping the pan over medium heat, add the peppers, onions, salt, and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, basil, and garlic and cook 2 more minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and stir. Add the Marsala wine, tomatoes, and chili flakes, if using. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
• Cut the sausages into 4 to 6 pieces each, about 1-inch cubes. Add the sausage back to the pan and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Serve in bowls. Or, if serving as a sandwich, split the rolls in half lengthwise. Hollow out the bread from the bottom side of each roll, being careful not to puncture the crust. Fill the bottom half of the roll with sausage mixture. Top and serve sandwiches immediately.

~ BEST WEDGIE SANDWICH ~

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 Take the two pizza crusts, and cut each in half, on the cheese side of the crust, I spray with cooking spray, to keep from sticking. Update: I started making my own pizza dough for these. I oil and sprinkle pan with corn meal. Spread dough as if making a pizza and bake for 10 - 15 min at 400 degree F.
• 2. Arrange meats on the one half, and a hand full of the cheese, spread the cheese over the meat. Put the other half of the crust on just like a sandwich. Bake on a pizza pan for roughly 10-15 min, carefully flip to the other side, and cook an additional 10-15 min till crispy, and cheese is and meat is heated through.
• 3. Remove from oven, take the crust off on the cheese side, add the lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. Cut in half and enjoy. These can be a bit sloppy to eat, you made need a bib..but oh so good!!In my opinion Boboli's crusts are the best for these, they get nice and crispy, yet stay chewy..any thin crust will do, have had to use another, when I couldn't find the Boboli's... The possibilities for this sandwich are endless.. I have made these on the grill also(wrapping in foil)
• 4. Note: recently made with my homemade pizza crust and were fantastic. Crunchy goodness!
