Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage (sweet or spicy)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 1/2 cup pasta sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12×15 inches thick.
- Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the dough, leaving an inch around the edges free from filling. Drizzle with pasta sauce if desired.
- Carefully roll up the dough tightly from one long edge and pinch seams to seal.
- Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
