Ingredients
Scale
- 1 thin crust pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your bread roll bakes evenly, developing a golden crust.
- Prepare the filling: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced onions until they begin to turn translucent, releasing their sweet aroma.
- Cook the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Brown the meat thoroughly, then season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Stir to combine the flavors.
- Add vegetables and seasoning: Stir in the sliced bell peppers, black olives (if using), and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 10×14 inch rectangle. Make sure the dough is even, as this will ensure a uniform bake.
- Assemble the roll: Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a slight border around the edges. This helps prevent the filling from spilling out during baking. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top, ensuring every bite is cheesy.
- Roll and seal: Carefully roll up the dough from the long side, pinch the ends shut, and place the roll seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This step is crucial to keep the filling inside.
- Prepare for baking: Make a couple of slits on top of the roll to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the roll in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving warm. Enjoy the melty, cheesy goodness with every bite!

- Use freshly grated cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect how it melts. Grating your own cheese ensures a smoother, creamier melt.
- Let the dough rest: If your dough is too elastic and keeps shrinking back when rolled out, let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to shape.
- Customize your filling: Feel free to add or substitute ingredients based on your preferences. Mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes would make great additions to the filling.
