Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
Cook sausage in a skillet until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
Unroll pizza crust vertically on baking paper.
Divide the dough into thirds; cut 1-inch horizontal strips on the left and right thirds, leaving the center third intact.
Layer center with pepperoni, sausage, bell pepper, olives, onion, pizza sauce, and mozzarella.
Fold over strips, alternating sides to form a braid over the filling.
Microwave butter, garlic, and parsley for 15 seconds. Brush over the braid.
Transfer braid (on baking paper) to a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
Cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

Add mushrooms or spinach for more veggie content.
Swap in your favorite cheese combo.
Brush with herb butter or sprinkle Italian seasoning for added flavor.
Best enjoyed fresh, but reheats well in the oven.
