Sausage Bread

Remove the sausage from its casings and place it in a skillet.

Brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it down into very small crumbles as it cooks.

Once fully cooked, transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and let it cool.

While the sausage cools, shred the mozzarella cheese.

Drain the fried peppers, pat them dry with a paper towel, and give them a rough chop.

In a large bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, chopped peppers, and the cooled sausage.

Crack one egg into a small bowl, whisk it, and add it to the sausage mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle.

Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Tightly roll the dough into a log and pinch the seams to seal.

Place the log seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Whisk the remaining egg to create an egg wash and brush it all over the outside of the log.

Bake at 375°F for about 35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let the sausage bread rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
