Ingredients
- 1 batch whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 pound Italian chicken sausage links
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 large sweet onion (or 1 small), sliced
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, freshly grated
- Additional extra virgin olive oil to drizzle over top
- Italian seasoning (about 1 teaspoon)
- Marinara sauce
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
In a grill pan over medium heat, brown the sausage links until cooked through. Meanwhile, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion and saute until the veggies are tender.
Stretch out the pizza dough over the baking sheet forming a large rectangle. Arrange the peppers and onions lengthwise down the center of the dough rectangle. Slice the sausage links crosswise into small 1/4 inch slices and arrange on top of the peppers and onions. Sprinkle with the two cheeses.
To form the stromboli, fold the two long sides of the pizza dough up over the filling and pinch with your fingers to crimp at the top. Roll up the ends and pinch together to seal off the ends. Drizzle some olive oil over the top and use a pastry brush to evenly coat the stromboli. Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning.
Bake for about 30 – 35 minutes. Let rest for 5 – 10 minutes prior to slicing. Serve slices topped with warm marinara sauce.
