Italian Sausage Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 ounces bulk Italian sausage (we like the extra spicy one)
    1 cup sliced mushrooms
    1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 teaspoon italian seasoning
    1/2 cup chopped tomato, packed in oil
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
    1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
    2 -3 slices provolone cheese
    pizza sauce, for dipping (I have used left over Marinara)
    1 loaf frozen bread dough
Preparation
    For filling saute sausage, veggies and seasonings until sausage is no longer pink and liquid has evaporated from pan.
    Add tomatoes and 1/2 cup of pizza sauce.
    Roll out bread dough to a large rectangle (stopping once in awhile to let dough rest).
    Spread filling up to 1 inch from sides of dough. Top with cheeses. Roll to a log. Seal ends (brushing water and pinching).
    Place log on cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
    Let rest 30 to 45 minutes.
    Bake in 350\u00b0F oven for 30 to 40 minutes (until loaf is golden brown).
    Cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
    Heat left over sauce for dipping before serving.
