Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 package of pizza dough (about 1 lb)
Meats
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables
- 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, pepperoni slices, cooked bacon, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, diced green bell peppers, onions, black olives, and tomatoes. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Roll out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12×15 inches in size, ensuring an even thickness.
- Fill the Dough: Spread the prepared meat, cheese, and vegetable mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about 1 inch of border around the edges to seal.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough starting from one long edge into a tight log shape. Pinch the edges to seal the seam and ends, preventing the filling from leaking during baking.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking and a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the rolled dough on a greased baking sheet or parchment-lined tray. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a hearty snack or main dish.
Notes
- You can customize the filling with your favorite meats, cheeses, and vegetables to suit taste preferences.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meats and add extra vegetables and cheese.
- Make sure to seal the dough edges well to prevent leaking during baking.
- Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
