Ingredients
- Hot dogs
- Hot dog buns
- Pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Sliced pepperoni
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Olive oil or melted butter
- Fresh basil or parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
- Arrange the hot dogs on the prepared sheet pan and bake for about 5 minutes to begin heating them.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven and place each hot dog inside a bun.
- Arrange the assembled hot dogs closely together on the sheet pan so the buns remain upright while adding the toppings.
- Spoon pizza sauce over each hot dog, using enough for flavor without soaking the buns.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the sauce and arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese.
- Finish each pizza dog with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Lightly brush the exposed edges of the buns with olive oil or melted butter if desired.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the hot dogs are heated through, the cheese is melted, and the buns are lightly toasted.
- Cool for a couple of minutes, garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Avoid using too much pizza sauce to help keep the buns from becoming soggy.
- For Meat Lover’s Pizza Dogs, add fully cooked crumbled sausage or bacon with the pepperoni.
- For Supreme Pizza Dogs, add finely diced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and sliced olives. Cook moisture-rich vegetables before adding them.
- For extra-cheesy Pizza Dogs, add more mozzarella or combine it with provolone and Parmesan.
- For a spicy variation, add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
- For Veggie Pizza Dogs, omit the pepperoni and add cooked mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, or olives.
- For the best texture, serve shortly after baking while the buns are lightly toasted.
- Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a 350°F (175°C) oven until thoroughly heated and the cheese is melted again.
- For make-ahead preparation, keep the toppings separate and assemble the Pizza Dogs shortly before baking.
