8 ounces bulk Italian sausage (we like the extra spicy one)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 cup chopped tomato, packed in oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
2 -3 slices provolone cheese
pizza sauce, for dipping (I have used left over Marinara)
1 loaf frozen bread dough

Steps:

For filling sauté sausage, veggies and seasonings until sausage is no longer pink and liquid has evaporated from pan.
Add tomatoes and 1/2 cup of pizza sauce.
Roll out bread dough to a large rectangle (stopping once in awhile to let dough rest).
Spread filling up to 1 inch from sides of dough. Top with cheeses. Roll to a log. Seal ends (brushing water and pinching).
Place log on cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Let rest 30 to 45 minutes.
Bake in 350°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes (until loaf is golden brown).
Cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Heat left over sauce for dipping before serving.
