Ingredients

12 hot dogs bun halves (or as many as you need)

2-3 cups of mozzarella cheese

1 small bag of pepperoni, sliced in strips

3 tsp. dried basil

4 TB grated parmesan cheese

1, 4 ounce can of tomato paste

Optional sprinkling of dried, hot chili pepper seeds.

**Note**

I buy hot dog buns at a restaurant supply store called "Smart N' Final." You can purchase 24 buns in one package for less than $3.00.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spoon a tablespoonful of the tomato paste over each "inside" half of a hot dog bun.

Lay the sauced buns, sauced-side up in a large pan covered in aluminum foil.

Sprinkle all of the buns with basil.

Sprinkle cheese over all the buns evenly and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Sprinkle pepperoni over the cheeses and place in oven.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Add your favorite toppings! Let the cooked pizza cool for about 10 minutes and let the kids pull off the "buns". Kids love this easy recipe.

You can also just make a cheese pizza and dip the finished "buns" into a bowl of heated commercial or homemade spaghetti sauce.

I'd like to add that hot dog buns make great French Toast "sticks. Just dip them in a mixture of eggs and milk and fry to golden brown in butter with a little olive oil. Serve with some powdered sugar and some maple syrup!

And if you like Cinnamon Toast? Spread the hot dog halves with butter and then sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Bake for about 15-20 minutes (350 degrees) and serve.

You can also make bread pudding, garlic bread and even some great croutons! Let me know if you have some recipes using the buns. Thanks!
