-
2 cups tomato sauce
-
3 teaspoons garlic granules
-
3 teaspoons dried Italian herb blend
-
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 pound bulk mild Italian sausage
-
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
-
½ pound pepperoni slices

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Directions
-
To make the sauce, combine tomato sauce, garlic, 3 teaspoons herbs, paprika, salt and pepper in a sauce pan over medium-high heat.
-
When sauce bubbles, reduce to a low simmer and stir. Cover and allow to simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes.
-
Crumble Italian sausage in a pan and cook over medium heat until no longer pink, about 15 minutes. Drain over paper towels. Set aside.
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Mix olive oil, garlic and 1 teaspoon herb blend in a small bowl.
-
Open hot dog buns and arrange on sheet pans covered in foil.
-
Separate buns in halves along the folds if you want to make 16 appetizers; leave whole if you want to make 8 pizzas.
-
Brush the buns with the olive oil mixture.
-
Toast buns in the oven for about 5 minutes, just until edges begin to brown.
-
Remove pan from oven and spread each of the buns with the warm tomato sauce.
-
Top with browned Italian sausage, pepperoni slices, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
-
Return pan to the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 5 to 10 minutes or until cheeses are bubbling.
-
Serve garnished with fresh oregano leaves and crushed red pepper, if desired.
