• ½ cup diced green bell peppers
• ½ cup diced onions
• ½ cup sliced black olives (optional)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ cup marinara or pizza sauce, for dipping

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.

2. Layer the Fillings
Evenly spread the cooked sausage and pepperoni over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, diced peppers, onions, and olives. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top.

3. Roll and Seal
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, pinching the edges to seal completely. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

4. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

5. Serve with Sauce
Cut into thick slices and serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
