Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 1 package (16 oz) pizza dough
- ½ lb cooked sausage, crumbled
- ½ cup pepperoni slices
- ½ cup bell pepper, chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, chopped
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing dough)
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional for golden crust)
Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prepare Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
2. Add the Filling
Spread crumbled sausage, pepperoni slices, chopped bell pepper, red onion, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the dough.
3. Roll It Up
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, sealing the edges by pinching them closed.
4. Brush & Bake
Place the rolled dough seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with olive oil or egg wash for a golden finish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Slice & Serve
Let the bread cool for a few minutes, then slice into thick pieces and serve warm with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
Tips & Variations:
- Customize the Filling: Add cooked bacon, mushrooms, spinach, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or hot sauce for heat.
- Cheese Lovers: Try a blend of cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack for a gooey center.
