Some recipes, like this one for Italian Sausage Bread, are so easy and yet are oh so satisfying. My mother-in-law seems to have an endless supply of sausage bread prepared at her house, so I never really thought to make it myself until this past year. Now that I have, I know it is the perfect make-ahead option to keep in your freezer!
This sausage bread can be made with either hot Italian sausage or sweet Italian sausage. I suggest changing the color of the pepper you use inside so that when you have it out for snacking, everyone knows what they are about to bite into. (I used red in these photos because I was making one with hot Italian sausage; I use green in my sweet Italian sausage breads.)
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 or 2 bell peppers, chopped
- 1 lb hot or sweet Italian sausage
- 1 (13.8 oz) tube of refrigerated pizza crust
- 1 (8 oz bag) shredded mozzarella
- 1 egg, beaten
