Pizza Sandwiches

Delicious for lunch or a light supper.

Layer pizza dough with cheese, toppings, and more cheese!
Top all fillings with another layer of pizza dough, a drizzle of EVOO and some salt.

Once out of the oven, let cool on a rack to keep bottom crust, crisp!

Making pizza sandwiches is a great way to have a healthy lunch made ahead and in the freezer!
I love to make these for kids lunches.

All of your favorite toppings can be included, just omit the tomato sauce on the bottom
crust, this keeps it crispy and not soggy.

As Always, 
ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS

2 packages of prepared pizza dough( I use Trader Joe's pizza dough)
12 oz. package, shredded quattro formaggio, also from Trader Joe's
         I like this combination of cheeses, since some are drier cheeses, you don't end up with a 
          greasy pizza from just all mozzarella.
Toppings of choice - I used sausage, black olives, mushrooms, and chopped tomatoes, and basil
olive oil
salt

     Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Grease cookie sheet.  Roll out first pizza dough into a rectangle to fit an 11x17 cookie sheet.  Place rolled out dough into greased pan.  Sprinkle half the cheese over the bottom crust.  Layer on the toppings of choice.  Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the toppings.
    Roll out second dough, and carefully cover pizza, so edges of dough join.  Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a bit of sea salt.
   Bake in 500 degree oven until crust is browned.  About 10-15 minutes. 
Slide entire pizza out of pan and onto a cooling rack.  Cool completely before cutting.  Put cut squares into ziploc bags and freeze for kids lunches.
