Instructions
Dough Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk together warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Stir in olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture.
Gradually add flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain off excess fat.
Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Assembly and Baking
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches.
Spread the cooled filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
Carefully roll up the dough from one of the long sides, pinching the seam to seal.
Place the rolled dough seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water for the egg wash. Brush evenly over the top of the dough.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
