In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the finely chopped onion and red bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Crumbled vegetarian sausage into the skillet, add Italian seasoning and black pepper, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the sausage is heated through.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle about 15x10 inches on a floured surface.
Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese evenly over the sausage mixture.
Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough, pinching edges to seal.
Place the rolled dough seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
