Tasty pizza dough stuffed with both spicy and sweet Italian sausages, broccoli rabe and three cheeses. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 pound ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded skim milk mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups chopped blanched broccoli rabe
1 1/4 cups cooked crumbled sweet Italian sausage
1 1/4 cups cooked crumbled hot Italian sausage
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 pounds pizza dough, divided into 8 four-ounce portions
1 large egg, lightly beaten
cornmeal
2 cups marinara sauce
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Combine the egg, ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses in a large bowl. Stir in the sausage and broccoli rabe. Season as needed with salt and pepper.
Roll out 4 ounces of dough to an 8-inch round. Brush the edges with beaten egg. Place 1/2 cup of the filling in the lower half of the circle. Fold over and crimp the edges. Press the filling down a little to spread within. Place on a parchment lined sheet tray sprinkled with cornmeal.
Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve with a marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Note: Taste the mixture first before adding salt. The saltiness of the cheese and sausages varies.
