In bowl, combine bell pepper, olives, onion, pizza sauce, seasoning mix and garlic. Mix well. Add cooked sausage and mix well. Spoon meat mixture over cheese evenly. Unroll remaining dough directly over filling by matching top edges of dough and shaping to fit as dough is unrolled. Trim excess dough from corners, forming an even edge. Roll and crimp edges to seal.

Drizzle oil over dough; spread evenly. If desired, sprinkle parmesan cheese over dough. Make 3 crisscross cuts about 6" long across center of dough to vent. Bake 18-20 minutes or til deep golden brown.
