Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf Italian style bread
- 2 cups ground spicy Italian beef sausage
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 12 to 20 pepperoni slices
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat your grill for two-zone cooking at 325°F.
- Slice the Italian bread in half lengthwise.
- Create space by scooping some soft bread from the insides.
- Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese to each bottom half.

Notes
For best results, avoid overstuffing the bread and ensure the bread firms up in the refrigerator before grilling. Customize with vegetables or different types of cheese as desired.
