Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces pizza dough
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced 1/4 inch thick)
- 2 Italian chicken sausage links (5 1/2 ounces total removed from casing)
- 3/4 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup Delallo Spicy Arrabiatta Pomodoro Fresco
- 1 egg white (beaten)
- sesame seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza dough according to package instructions and let it rest for about 1 hour.
- In a medium pot over medium heat, cook the sausage for 3 minutes, then set aside. Cook onions in olive oil for 5 minutes, add sliced peppers and pomodoro fresco, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Roll out the dough into a rectangle (16 x 10 inches) on a floured surface.
- Place cooled filling on one side of the dough, top with sausage and mozzarella. Brush edges with egg wash and fold over to seal.
- Place seam-side down on a nonstick sheet pan. Cut slits on top, brush with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake at 500°F for about 10 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) for another 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow cooling before slicing into pieces.
