Directions:In a bowl, combine 2 C flour, yeast and salt. Add warm water; mix well. Add enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. turn onto a floured surface knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes, Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 50 minutes. (I use my bread machine and it turns out perfect. Plus I can put it in the machine and go outside and garden while it is doing its thing.) In a skillet, cook sausage until no longer pink; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the drippings, saute peppers and onion until tender; drain. Press half of of the dough onto the bottom and 1/2 in up the sides of a greased 13x10x1 in baking pan. Spread sausage evenly over the crust. Top with the peppers and onion. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Roll out remaining dough to fit pan; place over cheese and seal the edges. In a small bowl, beat egg and water. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Brush over the dough. Cut slits in top. Bake at 400º for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into squares. |
