Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Store-bought pizza dough
- 0.5 pound Ground Italian sausage
- 2 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Flour (for rolling out dough)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the sausage is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the baby spinach leaves to the skillet with the sausage. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, roughly 12 inches by 8 inches.
Spread the sausage and spinach mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses evenly on top of the sausage and spinach mixture.
Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seams and edges to seal the roll.
Transfer the roll to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the entire roll with the egg wash.
Sprinkle the top with dried Italian seasoning for added flavor.
Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits on top of the roll to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the roll is golden brown and cooked through.
Let the roll cool for 5 minutes before slicing it into 1-inch thick pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
