A delightful twist on a classic Italian bread, filled with flavorful sausage and gooey cheese.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.
Ensure the sausage is fully cooked and slightly crispy for the best flavor.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the parsley and remove the skillet from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
Cooling the filling makes it easier to handle when assembling the roll.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
Ensure the dough is evenly rolled to avoid thin spots.
Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Leaving a border helps seal the roll and prevents filling from spilling out.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, tucking in the ends. Place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Tucking in the ends ensures the filling stays inside during baking.
Brush the roll with beaten egg white for a shiny, golden crust.
For a richer color, you can use an egg yolk mixed with a little water.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Allowing the roll to cool slightly makes slicing easier and prevents the filling from spilling out.
Slice the roll into portions and serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
Serving with a dipping sauce adds an extra layer of flavor.
