On a clean surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.

Distribute the cooked sausage evenly on top of the cheeses.

Starting on a long edge, roll the dough into a log, tucking in the sides as you roll. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the top of the dough with beaten egg. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning over the surface.

Transfer to oven and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
