Ingredients
  

  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 hot dogs (halal beef, turkey, or plant-based), cooked
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12-16 slices halal beef or turkey pepperoni (optional)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Lightly toast buns on the sheet, 2–3 minutes, to help prevent sogginess.
  • Warm the hot dogs in a skillet or by boiling until heated through.
  • Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce inside each bun and sprinkle a little mozzarella to anchor the dog.
  • Place a hot dog in each bun. Top with more sauce, remaining mozzarella, and halal pepperoni if using.
  • Add any veggies (peppers, mushrooms, olives, red onion). Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the top.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. For golden spots, broil 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
  • Brush bun tops lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Garnish with basil or parsley and serve hot.
