Description

This Pizza Roll Bread is the ultimate comfort food, combining the soft, airy texture of homemade yeast dough with the bold flavors of classic pizza toppings. The dough is rolled out and generously filled with crumbled sweet Italian sausage, savory tomato paste, aromatic garlic, and oregano. It is then layered with sharp Romano and gooey mozzarella cheese before being rolled into tight logs and baked until golden brown. The result is a tender, flaky bread that pulls apart easily, revealing a hot, cheesy, meaty center.

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the dry yeast, warm water, oil, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast dissolves and becomes foamy.
  4. Pour the yeast mixture into the well in the flour. Beat with a spoon until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed if the dough is sticky.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the crumbled Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
  8. Drain the excess fat from the skillet.
  9. Stir in the tomato paste, minced onion, minced garlic, and oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  10. Punch down the risen dough and divide it in half.
  11. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a 14 x 9 inch rectangle.
  12. Spread half of the cooled sausage filling onto each rectangle, leaving a 1/2 inch border along the edges.
  13. Top half of the filling on each rectangle with half of the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Romano cheese.
  14. Drizzle the tops with olive oil.
  15. Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the dough tightly. Pinch the seam and ends to seal securely.
  16. Place the rolls on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down, leaving about two inches between them.
  17. Bend each roll slightly into a crescent shape if desired.
  18. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  19. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  20. Remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
