Description
A delightful stromboli filled with savory sausage, sweet peppers, and onions, enveloped in a golden, buttery crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy)
- 1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green, sliced)
- 1 cup onions (yellow or red, sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 lb prepared pizza or bread dough
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (like oregano or basil)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it into bite-sized pieces and cook until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Add more olive oil if necessary, then add sliced onions and bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and Italian herbs, stirring for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Roll out the dough into a 12×16 inch rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
- Layer the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and mozzarella cheese down the center of the dough.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
- Transfer to a lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and herbs.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serve warm.
Notes
For a twist, consider using turkey sausage or adding sautéed mushrooms. Pair with a fresh salad or marinara sauce for dipping.
