Submitted by RFMonaco on August 21, 2007 - 11:23pm Anyone ever make Italian (round) pizza bread,...the kind without the hollow puff and with a small hole pinched in the middle (to prevent excessive rising)? These are used for hefty sandwiches, mainly used for the famous hotdog or sausage sandwiches by the reknowned Jimmy Buff's (etal) of Newark, N. J. Usually about 7" - 8" diameter and ~1.5" thick. They are cut in half and opened in the middle to stuff the dogs, peppers, onions and sliced potatos in. Best hotdog or sausage 'wich I ever had!! Like to see some techniques used.

I went to Jimmy Buff's website...
And - dang those sandwiches look good! What are the contents? I hope you get some suggestions on this...I live in Nebraska and don't plan on a NJ trip anytime soon but I'd love to try this if you get a recipe for the bread.

They look awesome..
I went to the site and then to some restaurant reviews. One review described it as a 1/2 disc of italian bread, scooped out...another like a puffed up pita. Since I've never seen one..does this sound logical, that it is a large italian bread "bun", 7-8" in diameter, sliced in half longitudinally, rather than horizontally and then scooped out a bit to look somewhat like a over stuffed/puffed pita?
Pizza bread
From what I've been able to gather, the pizza bread is made from standard Italian bread dough rolled out to about 1 inch thick and about 7 inch diameter. Don't forget the hole in the middle..about an inch wide. It's supposed to keep the puffing up down? Some crumb may be removed if too thick to put the goodies in.

'cept baked, and with a softer crumb..not boiled,,yum with hot sausage, peppers, onions, some sauce and cheese..parm/reggiano ? sp)
I'm thinking these must be transmogrified!

:D They look pretty swell! So maybe do the hotdogs like a Rutt's dog. Be careful the ones that are deep fried are made special.
