This dish was served at a small drive-in type eatery that my Aunt worked at in Detroit years ago. It sounds odd, but it's really good!

HOT TRUCK P M P - POOR MAN'S PIZZA



Hot Truck P M P - Poor Man's Pizza image

This is posted in tribute to Bob Petrillose, its creator who passed away last month. I had the honor of eating way too many of these pizza subs during my college days. Rumor has it that a student who worked in the truck sold the idea to Stouffer's and was the origin of the French Bread Pizza.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 inch) French bread, loaf
1 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups canned mushroom slices
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut the French bread loaf in half crosswise and then slice them completely open, horizontally. Place the four pieces of bread on a baking sheet.
  • Using a ladle or spoon, spread the pizza sauce on all pieces of bread, being sure to cover out to the edges (to prevent burning) and sprinkle with oregano.
  • Spread mushrooms across each bottom half of the bread. (This is officially for the "PMP Mush" version - use pepperoni for "PMP Pep").
  • Generously cover the mushrooms with mozzarella.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the French bread is golden brown. Lay the top halves of the French bread on the bottom halves to make sandwiches. I also tried it in the panini maker which was faster and tasted the same, but the cheese didn't melt quite like the original. Enjoy!

This dough was lovingly prepared a day ahead. Refrigerated, dusted, kneaded, risen twice, flattened and stretched for a perfect crust. With pizza "It's the crust that's makes all the difference".
