Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the ciabatta bread in half horizontally.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread the marinara sauce evenly on both halves of the ciabatta. Layer the pepperoni and Italian sausage on top of the sauce. Add the mozzarella cheese generously over the meats.

  3. 3

    Add Optional Veggies

    If using, add the red onion, green peppers, and mushrooms on top of the cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake the Sandwich

    Place the assembled sandwich on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Finish with Garlic Butter and Parmesan

    While the sandwich is baking, melt the garlic butter. Once the sandwich is done, brush the garlic butter over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

  6. 6

    Slice the sandwich into halves or quarters and serve warm.
