Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1/2 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 lb beef or turkey Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 1/2 cup beef or turkey pepperoni slices (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or extra Italian seasoning for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking into small crumbles, until browned. Drain excess fat.
  • Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet; cook 3–4 minutes until softened. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 10×14-inch rectangle. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  • Evenly scatter the cooled meat mixture over the dough. Add pepperoni slices (if using), then top with mozzarella and cheddar.
  • Starting from a long side, roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the top with beaten egg. Sprinkle sesame seeds or a pinch of Italian seasoning if desired.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes or until deep golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Rest 5–10 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife. Serve with warm marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
