1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 lb ground beef or Italian sausage

Roll out pizza dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet into a large rectangle.
Spread the meat mixture down the center of the dough.

Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, pinching edges closed to seal like a loaf.
Place seam-side down.
Brush top with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Optional Dipping Sauce
