Spicy Italian Sausage Roll
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. spicy Italian sausage
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (13.8 oz) can of refrigerated classic pizza crust dough
- 1 egg, beaten
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the red and green bell peppers, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the sausage mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly to form a log, sealing the edges.
- Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the roll with beaten egg and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
