Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Dough Resting time: 1 hour
Total Time: 2 hours
Yield: 8 servings
Course: Appetizer, Dinner, Lunch
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces pizza dough (from a little more than half of 1 Delallo pizza dough kit)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced 1/4 inch thick)
  • 1/3 cup Delallo Spicy Arrabiatta Pomodoro Fresco
  • 2 Italian Chicken Sausage Links (5 1/2 ounces total removed from casing)
  • 3/4 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg white (beaten)
  • sesame seeds (optional for topping)

Instructions

  • Prepare the pizza dough as instructed on the package.
  • This will need to rest about 1 hour. Once it’s ready, set aside 16 ounces and refrigerate the other half for another use.
  • In a medium pot over medium heat cook the sausage 3 minutes, then set aside. Reduce heat to low and add the olive oil and onions, cook stirring 5 minutes. Add the peppers and Spicy Arrabiatta Pomodoro Fresco. Cover and simmer low to medium low 15 minutes, until tender. Set aside to cool completely.

  • Preheat the oven to 500F and set rack in the center of the oven. Spray a nonstick sheet pan with oil.
  • With a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 16 x 10 inch rectangle.
  • Place the onions and peppers leaving about 1 1/2 inch from the edge. Top the sausage over the peppers and onions. Top with cheese. Use the egg wash and brush along the edge of the dough.
  • Fold one side of the dough over to cover the filling, then the short edges, followed by the other side, stretching slightly to seal, pinching the ends so nothing oozes out.
  • Lay the bread seam side down on the prepared pan. Cut small slats in the top and brush with egg white. Top with sesame seeds, if using.

Notes

Variations:
  • Swap the Italian chicken sausage with turkey sausage or even ground turkey seasoned with Italian herbs. You could also stuff the bread with turkey pepperoni.
  • Make it dairy-free by omitting the cheese.
  • If you don’t like spicy food, you can use any marinara, or try my homemade marinara sauce recipe.
