Italian Bread Pizza - olive oil

Method

• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet.
• Add sausages and brown them on all sides.
• Then add enough water into the skillet to just cover the sausages.
• Then turn heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until cooked through (30-40 minutes).
• Preheat your ovens broiler.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise, and scoop out all but a 1/2 inch of the inside (save the insides for another recipe or to make breadcrumbs).
• Drizzle each half lightly with olive oil, put the bread on a sheet pan and toast under the broiler until lightly browned.
• Then remove it from the oven and set aside.
• Turn the oven down to 400 F.
• When the sausage is cooked, remove it from the skillet and dice it.
• Put it into a bowl and add the tomato (seeded and diced), cheeses (cubed/shredded), garlic (diced), and if desired the pizza sauce.
• Salt and pepper to taste, and fill each half of the bread with the mixture.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until bubbly.
