Sausage and Pepper Bread

Sausage Stromboli

This sausage and pepper bread is basically a stuffed, rolled pizza. It’s so delicious you’ll want to make it again and again!  It’s the perfect appetizer for any gathering from watching the Superbowl, hanging out with friends or having guests for the holidays. If you want a vegetarian option, try my veggie stromboli!

pizza kit

For this recipe I made my pizza dough with the DeLallo’s Pizza Dough Kit which uses 00 flour, and comes with a yeast packet, so all you have to do is add water which makes enough for two pizzas. You can also use store bought pizza dough.

How to Make Pizza Dough with the DeLallo Pizza Dough Kit

  • Combine the flour mix and yeast packet that comes with the kit in a large mixing bowl with 1 ¼ cups of lukewarm water. Stir with a fork until dough begins to form.
  • Knead by hand for three minutes or until dough is soft and smooth.
  • Place in an oiled bowl and cover for 45 minutes until the dough rises.

How to Make the Stromboli Ahead

You can make this Italian stuffed bread ahead and under cook it by 10 or 15 minutes, then reheat it when you’re ready to serve. Just cover it with foil and place it in the oven until heated through.

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.
  • I love DeLallo’s Pomodoro Spicy Arrabbiata Sauce because it’s spicy and delicious, but if you don’t like spicy food, you can use any marinara, or my homemade marinara sauce recipe.
  • Use the entire pizza dough kit to double this recipe and make 2 breads.

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

  • 3/4 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg white, beaten

  • 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 brunch 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.
