List of Ingredients
1 3/4 cups very warm water
1 (1/4 ounce or 2 1/4 tsp) package active dry yeast
1-teaspoon honey
3 1/2 to 4 cups flour
Filling:
2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded, and chopped
2 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces sausage links
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Recipe
Pour water into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with yeast and add
honey. Let sit for 15 minutes, allowing yeast to foam. Add three cups
flour and mix well. Stir in enough remaining flour for dough to form a
ball. Transfer dough to floured board and knead six minutes (knead in
mixer for four minutes) or until dough is smooth. Coat the inside of
a large glass or ceramic bowl with olive oil. Place dough in bowl,
cover with wax paper and a dishtowel folded in half. Put in a warm,
out-of-the-way spot (no cold air, no drafts). Let rise until doubled,
about one hour.
While dough is rising, prepare filling:
In a large pan, over medium heat, cook peppers and onions in
1-tablespoon olive oil until tender. Transfer to bowl. In same pan
over medium-high heat, brown sausage in remaining 1 tablespoon olive
oil for about 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool and cut into 1/4-inch
slices. Heat oven to 450 F. Punch dough down. Divide into four
pieces. On floured board, pat and stretch one piece into an 8x10-inch
oval. Place 1/4 of sausage slices in center of dough. Spoon 1/4 of
peppers and onions over sausage and sprinkle with 1/4 of shredded
mozzarella. Fold top half of dough over filling, matching up all
edges. Roll and crimp edges to close. Transfer to oiled baking pan.
Repeat with remaining dough, filling, and cheese. Brush or spray tops
of dough with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
