Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 14 oz pizza dough (Pillsbury pizza crust or homemade)
Filling
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 6 oz cooked and crumbled Italian sausage
- 4 oz pepperoni slices
Topping
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400º F to prepare for baking the pizza bread.
- Prepare Dough: Spread the pizza dough onto a lined baking sheet, shaping it into about a 13×9 inch rectangle to form the base for the fillings.
- Add Toppings: Evenly top the dough with shredded mozzarella cheese, leaving a small ½-inch border around the edges, then add the cooked crumbled Italian sausage and pepperoni slices over the cheese.
- Form Roll: Fold the short end of the dough over once, then starting from the long side, roll it tightly into a log shape, placing it seam side down on the baking sheet for stability.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the whole egg in a small bowl until well blended, then brush it evenly over the top of the rolled pizza dough. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning evenly on top to add flavor and create a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the pizza bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with pizza sauce if desired for dipping.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the Italian sausage and pepperoni with sautéed vegetables or plant-based meat alternatives.
- You can use store-bought or homemade pizza dough based on your preference.
- Make sure to seal the rolled dough seam well to prevent fillings from leaking during baking.
- Leftover pizza bread can be stored in an airtight container and reheated before serving.
