Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 oz pizza dough at room temperature
- 8 oz Italian sausage cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup pepperoni slices chopped
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing
- 1 cup marinara sauce warmed, for dipping
Instructions
Cooking
- Cook the sausage. Brown the sausage 7 to 8 minutes until 160 degrees F, drain, and cool 10 minutes.
- Make the filling. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mix the sausage, pepperoni, peppers, onion, both cheeses, and seasoning.
- Roll the loaf. Stretch the dough into a 10 by 14 inch rectangle, add the filling, roll tightly, and seal the seam.
- Bake the loaf. Place seam side down, brush with oil, and bake 25 to 30 minutes until deep golden.
- Rest and slice. Rest 10 minutes, then slice and serve with warm marinara.
Notes
Substitutions: Use bacon, ham, or cooked ground beef in place of the sausage. Mushrooms and spinach make a meatless version.
Tips: Cool the filling and keep a clean border so the seam stays sealed. Pat vegetables dry.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze slices up to 2 months. Reheat at 350 degrees F until 165 degrees F in the center.
