Instructions

Prepare the pizza dough as instructed on the package.
This will need to rest about 1 hour. Once it’s ready, set aside 16 ounces and refrigerate the other half for another use.
In a medium pot over medium heat cook the sausage 3 minutes, then set aside. Reduce heat to low and add the olive oil and onions, cook stirring 5 minutes. Add the peppers and Spicy Arrabiatta Pomodoro Fresco. Cover and simmer low to medium low 15 minutes, until tender. Set aside to cool completely.
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 brush 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.
Bake 10 minutes 500F, then reduce the heat to 375F and cook 18 to 20 minutes longer, until golden brown on top and cooked in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool before slicing into 8 pieces.

Notes

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.
If you don’t like spicy food, you can use any marinara, or try my homemade marinara sauce recipe.
