Notes

  • You can use any type of bread you like, but Italian bread works best for an authentic pizza flavor.
  • For a crispy crust, cook the sandwiches on low heat to ensure the cheese melts evenly without burning the bread.
  • Feel free to add other pizza toppings like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers to customize the sandwiches.
