As Sunday school teachers, my husband and I often host youth groups, so I dreamed up this "handy" recipe to feed some hungry teenagers. They loved this pizza-like sandwich and still request it when they visit. -Mary Merrill, Bloomingdale, Ohio

Sausage Sandwich Squares Recipe

Prep: 35 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 12-15 Servings

35 20 55

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/3 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pound Johnsonville® Ground Sausage
1 medium sweet red pepper, diced
1 medium green pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add the salt, remaining water and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. 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.
In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 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 the dough onto the bottom and 1/2 in. up the sides of a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Spread sausage evenly over the crust. Top with 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. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Brush over dough. Cut slits in top. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into squares. Yield: 12-15 servings.

I like the idea of using ready made pizza dough too! Thanks for the tip!

I think this sounds super enough to please both my grandchildren and grandpa. BUT I intend to use ready-made pizza dough, as I never have enough time when we have the grandkids here!
