How to Make Italian Wedgie Sandwiches

  1. **Prepare the Pizza Crusts:** Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Divide pizza dough (1 lb) into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-inch circle.
  2. **Season the Crusts:** Drizzle each crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. **Bake the Crusts:** Place crusts on baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. **Make the Dressing:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Italian dressing, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. **Assemble the Sandwich:** Place one pizza crust, seasoned side down, on a large piece of parchment paper. Spread half of the dressing evenly over the crust.
  6. **Layer the Fillings:** Arrange your desired amount of Italian meats (e.g., 6 oz salami, 6 oz capicola, 4 oz provolone), cheeses (e.g., 8 oz provolone, 4 oz mozzarella), and vegetables (e.g., 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers, 1/2 cup sliced onions) on top of the dressing.
  7. **Add More Dressing:** Spread the remaining dressing over the fillings.
  8. **Top and Press:** Carefully place the second pizza crust on top, seasoned side up. Gently press down to create a cohesive sandwich.
  9. **Cut into Wedges:** Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the giant sandwich into 8 wedges.
  10. **Bake (Optional):** For extra melty cheese, bake the wedges in a 350°F (177°C) oven or toaster oven for 5-7 minutes.
  11. **Serve:** Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Italian Wedgie Sandwiches!
