Ingredients
- 16 ounces pizza dough
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup Delallo Spicy Arrabiatta Pomodoro Fresco
- 2 Italian Chicken Sausage Links
- 3/4 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg white
- sesame seeds
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Begin by preparing the pizza dough according to the directions provided on the package.
- 2
Allow the dough to rest for approximately 1 hour. After the resting period, reserve 16 ounces of the dough and place the remaining half in the refrigerator for future use.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the sausage for 3 minutes, then remove it from the heat and set it aside. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and add the olive oil along with the onions, cooking while stirring for 5 minutes. Next, incorporate the peppers and the Spicy Arrabiatta Pomodoro Fresco. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 500°F and position the rack in the center. Lightly coat a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
- 5
On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to shape the dough into a rectangle measuring 16 by 10 inches.
- 6
Distribute the onion and pepper mixture over the dough, leaving a border of about 1 1/2 inches from the edge. Layer the cooked sausage on top of the vegetables, followed by a generous sprinkle of cheese. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash.
- 7
Fold one side of the dough over the filling, then tuck in the short edges before bringing the opposite side over, gently stretching to seal it. Pinch the ends securely to prevent any filling from escaping.
- 8
Place the assembled bread seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Cut small slits in the top and brush with egg white. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes at 500°F, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for an additional 18 to 20 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown and the center is cooked through.

Once finished, take the stromboli out of the oven and let it cool before slicing it into 8 equal pieces.
