Sausage Braid

Directions

Remove sausage from casing and brown well.

Drain fat - WELL - and return to pan.

Add green peppers and onions and cook for a few minutes until almost soft.

Roll pizza dough to large rectangle.

Place on parchment lined baking tray.

Around the edges of dough with scissors cut about 1½ inch strips towards the center.

Add sausage mixture in the middle of the dough - sprinkle with ¾ cups of the cheese.

“Braid” the dough strips together to “close” it up. (You will have a few gaps.)

Brush the dough with the beaten egg.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top with a sprinkle of Italian Seasoning if desired.

Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes at 450 F.
